If _ _ MB-- * — — It is a subject deeply to be regretted , that , in past times , the ministers of religion have been the greatest enemies to the universal distribution of the scriptures ; while Royal Dukes
have formerlyy . as well as in the present day , advocated the principle upon which the British and Foreign Bible Society invariably acts . So offensive , it seems , was this translation

At the same time declaring , in a very solemn manner , that he would
maintain our having this law in our tongue against those , whoever they should be , who first brought in the bill . The Duke was seconded by others , who said , " if thegosrcel , by its being

They accordingly not only cover and protect the whole back-part of the body
