    But grant us this—but give , for Conscience' sake ; - The boon which else religion bids us take : Then when we bow before a Father ' s throne Your prayers may blend harmonious with our own . Though reasoning spirits wander far apart , All may be borne , while Love is at the heart ; While God is fear'd and worship ed , Christ receiv ed , And his own word of faithfulness believ' 3 *

    This controversy has lately been revived in a book which bears the ponderous title of " Palaeoromaica ; or Historical and Philological Disquisitions ; inquiring whether the Hellenistic Style is not Latin-Greek ; whether the many new Words in the Elzevir Greek Testament are not formed from the Latin ; and whether the Hypothesis that the Greek Text of many MSS . of the New Testament is a Translation or Retranslation from the Latin

    seems not to elucidate numerous Passages ; to account for the different Recensions and to explain many Phenomena hitherto inexplicable to Biblical Critics . " This book is in point of date out of the reasonable limits of the Review department of the Monthly Repository , but we may be allowed a retrospective view of the history and general outline of the questions at issue , which have been again brought into notice by Dr . Maltby ' s Visitation Sermon , entitled " The Original Greek of the New Testament asserted and vindicated . " That Sermon will call for one or two preliminary general

    observations , and we shall then give as brief an account as we can of the controversy , in an historical rather than a critical form , noticing last of all the position which Dr . Maltby ' s arguments occupy as bearing on the main question . This mode of treating the subject , we should have liked tQ have seen Dr . Maltby himself , to a certain extent , pursue , in preference to that of

    taking up the propositions of the Palseoromaica as something quite new , and going over afresh what is in a great degree beaten ground . In this bookmaking age , old controversies have every now and then new dresses put upon them , and the best service that can be rendered to the public is to give it the benefit of past experience , and to help it to start where a former age left off . A sermon is not the most convenient channel for discussions of the sort

    here announced ; but it is pleasant to be relieved from the din of doctrinal and ecclesiastical polemics , and to be able to join a learned scholar and divine like Dr . Maltby in what he seems , indeed , to treat as a duty second to that of " guarding against errors in doctrine , " but which we should hail as a for more gratifying and catholic part of the obligations of a faithful minister of the word of God , namely , in the discussion of points important to the illustration and defence of our common faith . Dr . Maltby , however ,

    enters on the consideration of a most interesting subject in a candid and liberal tone , which we are sorry to see at all departed from , when he gives way , even momentarily , to the common cant ( for we can call it by no better name , and in Dp . Maltby's mouth we cannot and will not call it by a worse ) of lamenting that his opponent should even have given publicity \ o doubts upon points long since admitted by the general consent of wise , apd good men . " The preacher of course adopts the usual plea for stopping the
