Fur the Jcflci soman. The Bible and its Translations. Concluded.') The Latin Rible, or Vulgate, was first printed on the continent of Europe iu 14G2; the Old Tcsta-mcntin Hebrew 1488, and the New Testament in Greek about 1518. Tyndalc's translation followed in about eight years afterwards. Ten thou sand copies of the New Testament were imported into England, in the space of two years, and sold rapidly. It is un doubtedly the host translation, except King James's which is now universally allowed to be the best, both for perspicui ty, simplicity, and propriety of idiom ; but it may be truthfully maintained, that its style, purity, and terseness of sentiment, has not bceu in the least spoiled, by the high honor given to the Great Version. The following is a specimen of Tyndalc's translation : And markc'. A Ccrtaync Lawere stade vp' and tctnptcd hym sayingc: Master what shall I do' to inherit cternall lyfe? lie sayde vnto him : What ys written in the lawe? How rcdest thou? And he answered and sayde: Thou shalt lore thy lode god' wyth all thy hert' and with all thy soule' and with all thy strengthe' and with all thy mynde: and thy neighbor as thy life. And he sayd unto hym: Thou hast answered right. This do and thou shalt live, lie willynge to instific hym sylfe' sayde vnto Jesus: Wrho ys then my-neighbor? Jesus answered and sayde: Acertaync man descended from Jerusalem into Jeri cho'. "And fell into the handes off theves' whych robbed hym off bis raymcnt and wounded hym' and departed levynge him halfe deed. And yet chaunsed that there came a certayne presto that same wayc' and sawe hym' and passed by. And lyke wyse a levite' when he was come neye to the place' went and lokcd on hym, and passed by. When a certayne Samaritano as he iorneyed cam nyc vnto hym and behelde hym, and had compassion on hym, and cam to hym, and bounde vppe hys wondes, and poured in wyne and oyle, and Iaycd him on his brcastc, and brought hym to a common hostry, anddrcst him. And on the morowo when he departed he tokc out two pence, and gave them to the host and said vnto him : Take care of him, and whatsoever thou spendest above this, when I come agayne I will recompence the. Which nowc of these thie thynkest thou was neighbour unto him that fell into the theves handes? And he auswer ed : He that shewed mercy on hym. Then sayd Jesus vnto hym: Goo and do thou lyke wyse. Tyudale's New Testament appeared, as wo have said, in 152G, and was followed by Coverdale's in 1535. Tt was printed at Zurich, because Miles Coverdale was obliged to fly from his native country, and dwell there. He was a native of loikshire, and to hiiu bclonirs the honor t of first translating the whole Rible 1 10 III 'the original tongues, double columns, folio. It was printed in iuaunew s jxuie appeared in !; i r - Rut John Rogers was undoubtedly the author. The name Thomas Mntthew, from which it derives -its name, is ficti tious. John Rogers died iu the reign of Queen Mary. Cranmer's, also called the Great Eible, appeared in 1539. It was printed iu large folio. This translation was by many persons, Coverdale being the chief. The preface was written by (Jranmer, theu archbishop of Cauterbury, and tho wholo work, j cihap, published in hio uauic.

Jhe Douay Bible, of which the New Testament was printed at Rhcims in 1582, and the Old at Douay in 1G09-10. King James's Rible. This appeared in 1611. It was a labor of seven years. Forty-seven were employed in the execu tion of the work. Twenty five were en gaged in the translation of the Old Testa ment, fifteen to the New, and seven to the Apochropha. Complaints being made to James I. of England, on his accession to the throne, a convocation of the Estab lished and Puritan clergy at Hampton Court was called; all agreeing in their disapprobation of the-version of the Scriptures, then most generally used. James commissioned fifty-four of the most learned in the university to commence a new translation. The bishops were re quired in this instance, to inform them selves of all the learned men within their dioceses, who had acquired sufficient skill in the Greek and Hebrew languages; and to charge them to give special assistance fn correcting obscure passages, and to for ward the same to those commissioned in the great work of translation. Seven of the persons appointed were i absent when the labor commenced. Ox ford, Cambridge, and Westminister wlicre the places appointed for their ineetiug; and when each division had finished the part assigned to it, they all assembled, compared their several translations, decid ed differences, and settled upon what they considered the best translation. When the several divisions were finished, a gen eral attendance was demanded, each one reading, while all the rest held copies in their hands. If any one objected to the translation of any passage, the reader stopped to allow them time for discussion, comparison, and final decision. King James's Rible is the Rible now universally used, and ifis the most faith ful translation ever accomplished. II.
