bnblication of the first edition . It has found champions inKnittle , Travis , aad Il-ezel * , and assailants in Porson ,, Marshy Pappelbaum . Matthai , &c . The note .
which , in the first edition , was subjoined to the passage , being considerably enlarged , is thrown into an appendix ; the variations among the authorities which retain it being alone given under the
text . All the MSS . which have been examined for the several editions published in this interval , omit the 7 th verse , and ev rv yy-ot the 8 th , except a Wolfenbut . tel MS . from which Knittle produced readings . But this evidence
carries its disqualification on its fore-, head . Containing together with fhe Greek text , the versions of Castalio , Erasmus , Vatablus and Beza , the Vulgate and the Latin version of the Syriac , it is beneath the notice of the critic . The
Codex Ravianus , long asserted to be only a transcript of the Comphitensian edition , interpolated from the margin of Stephens , has been proved to be so beyond the possibility of cavil , by Papplebaum ' s Ex amen Codicis Raviaui , &c . published in the year 1796 . Our author goes over the ground which has been so often trodden—the fallibility of Stephens ' s compositors and
correctors— the honesty of the editors of the Syriac and Armenian versions , &c . &c . lie follows the first edition pretty closely in this part ; nor do we perceive numy important additions to the
observations on the . Latin fathers . The * Hezel afterwards acknowledged its spiu'iQusncss .

passages in some Greek authors , supposed to refer to it , are quoted and commented upon with more detail than before . After all that has been written
on this subject from the year 1520 to the year 18 Q 6 , we are furnished with sufficient data for a de * . cision ; and to .. delay the expulsion of the intruder under
pretence of waiting for further evidence , is a mockery of critical justice—the last resource of those who wish to strengthen the argument from prescription , as every other is found to fall . Every reason that the wit or folly of man could devise has been
brought forward ; every source of information has been drained . 4 ; The book-case of divine Provi * deuce , " in which Bengel hoped ^ that , -c if not the autograph of Saint John , at least ancient MSS * containing this verse'' would be found , has been ransacked in the furthest corner , and nothing is produced in its favour but a MS * written in the , 16 th century . No unprejudiced reader , we think , can refuse assent to Griesbach ' s
observation , that to admit tie genuineness of 1 John , v . 7 . is to render the whole text of the New Testament uncertain . " Hoc velim probe perpendant , qui
