nicene Creed , at Antiocli , Virtually give their united testimony to the same effect , namely , that there was from the beginning no Greek MS . of authority which did not contain the text . 4 . The four hundred orthodox bishops cite the verse correctly before Hunneric ; this was in the year 480 , a whole century , if not two whole centuries , anterior to the oldest Greek MSS . now extant .
5 . The disputed text is found in the Vulgate \ and this version also is anterior to the oldest Greek MSS ., at least by a century . The author was Jerome , the most learned of that age , who was thoroughly acquainted with the state of the MSS . then extant , and he virtually pronounces that all those of authority which had
descended from the apostles contained the
verse . He has asserted another thing of high moment , namely , that the common copies did not contain the text of the three Heavenly Witnesses , it being- excluded by the editors . This fact I say is of high moment , because it accounts for the absence of the verse from the subsequent copies which now form our MSS .
These MfeS . do not contain the text , he cause they are copies of copies from zchich the text had been erased . The conclusion is this : while the Greek MSS ., from the sixth century
to the present time , do not , for the most part , authenticate the text , all the MSS . from the first to the sixth unite in testimony to its authenticity . Let Mr . W . Evans , or Mr . Fox , or Mr . Kenrick , or Dr . Carpenter , invalidate this conclusion ; they are too
wise to attempt it . As soon will they be able to recall the flight of past time , and undo the train of events which it produced in ecclesiastical history during the revolutions of sixteen hundred years . Still they will not be convinced . This is
immaterial ; time will sweep away their opinions , and more independent critics , in a future age , will decide on the question . Commenta opinionurn delct dies , naturae et veritatis judicia confirmabit . J . JONES . —^—

Tuam , and the Bishop of Norwich were read at the last Catholic meeting at Ballinasloe : — ln ? My Lord , Tuam , Oct . 2 , 1826 I have the honour to inclose the copy of a resolution , adopted at a meeting of the Catholic inhabitants of
this town and union , held on Thursday , the 28 th of last month , for the purpose of petitioning tl * e Legislature for Catholic Emancipation . My own feelings of respect and gratitude towards your Lordship accord so perfectly with those of the meeting , that
I am anxious to obey their desire as expressed in the resolution with as little delay as possible ; and trust I shall be justified in the anticipation that your Lordship will be pleased to accept this delegation of our most sincere and unreserved confidence . —I
have the honour to remain , with the most profound respect , your Lordship ' s most obedient and devoted hum . ble servant , O . C . KELLY . To the Lord Bishop of Norwich > Norwich . Reply . My dear Lord ,
The Catholic inhabitants of Tuam and the Union , do me but justice in thinking that there is not a single individual in the United Kingdom more cordially attached to the great cause of civil and religious liberty than
myself , or who contemplates with more surprise and sorrow the impolicy , the injustice , and the want of Christian charity , by which so many loyal subjects and conscientious Christians are
deprived of those civil privileges , to which they have , in my opinion , an unquestionable right , for no other reason , which I am able to find out , than their steady attachment to the
religion of their ancestors . Old as I am , I will gladly present to the House of Lords the petition mentioned by your Grace ; and Isball be happy to have an opportunity ot bearing my humble testimony in favour of the most injured people upon
the face of the earth . , Believe me , Sir , with great trutu , your affectionate brother , HENRY NORWICH . Norwich , Oct . 9 , 1826 . To the most Rev . Dr . Kelly , Lord Archbishop of Tuam , Turn , if «« w-
