The first portion of the learned critic's note is occupied in giving a summary of the authorities for the different readings of the text , as deduced from M . SS . from Versions , and from the Fathers . To none would it be of the Feast use
to copy the numerous abbreviations which be employs , while the revision of the proof , as well as the printing , would occasion no small perplexity * To fill up those abbreviations w < uld be a task to
which my time and resources render me inadequate . And the unlearned reader would derive little benefit from the performance . The learned theologian cannot be without the original . Tht crtic ' s review of the evidence , which
forms the greater and more important half of the note in question , will , probably , be found to an-% wer every valuable purpose , although I frankly confess thai the difficulty of rendering it completely intelligible to the English reader is far more formidable than I

present to his attention some things which I have observed on reviewing , with this intention , alt that medley of various readings , I . Codex 4 , * written so late at
the 15 ih century , contains an im . mense number of various , and ^ even singular readings , partly va . luable , and pairtly to be rejected without hesitation : as , for
t-xarople , Acts ix . 20 . xi . 3 , &c . &c . Compare also Rom , xiv , 17 . xvi . 13 . 2 Cor . ti . 17 . 1 Thess . iv . 15 , Thertfore , this copy , when alone , or when agreeing with others of small merit , is of no importance .

111 . Codex 12 and 22 are to be accounted nearly as not collated ; and for that reason they are to be looked upon as of no authority * Codex 22 , as far as I can judge ,
from the few readings of it which have come , to ray knowledge , if near of kin to Codex 4 , and Codex 37 . § This copy alone has faft God , in James iv . 15 . instead of
xvpiofj Lord . IV . Codex 25 is to be consr dered in the number of the better , though not of the best M-SS . Sea Wetstein at Acts v * 24 i xi . 21 j
