not dare to do us that justice . And the motion of exclusion , though lost in the Parent Bible Society , has been carried in several Institutions , some independent of it , and others connected with it as Branch Societies *
Ebion Adamson . Carried or not carried does not much signify . The spirit which has been manifested is an evil spirit , but it has a good work to accomplish . It will eventually divide the Trinitarian denomination , and separate the chaff from the wheat . The liberal and enlightened men amongst them , and there are many such , must put down these out-and-out bigots , or submit to be dragged by them through all sorts of mire and dirt , or retreat from connexion with them , and lead off all the common sense and charity of the party . . .
EL . HANAN . ' * The last I hope is the most likely , It is certainly the most desirable . : > r ¦ ¦ ' ¦ Barnabas . - Might not Continued union mitigate 'this fanatical hostility ? Ebion Adamson . Yes , as the Brissptines mitigated the Jacobins . The violent will be sure to preponderate . The moderate are both inert and timid .
C 4 £ jSB . It is wonderful how many orthodox ministers can exist under the slavery in which they liye . How they tremble before the great Gossipocracy of their party I Barnabas .. . It surely is pity that so admirable an Institution as the Bible Society should be harassed , and perhaps at last broken up , by this faction .
Cajleb . What are these great merits of the Bible Society ? With all its boasted Catholicism , have not Unitarians been systematically excluded from its management ? Does it not knowingly circulate an erroneous translation ? Are not its own translations made from a' confessedly imperfect and
erroneous text ? Would not its patronage be withheld from a translation made from the text of Griesbach ? Was not the thousand pounds from its funds for each of the Seramppre Versions referred to , in excuse of the retention of known corruptions in those Versions ? Are riot the doctrinal , as well as other headings of chapters , all retained , in glaring falsification of its much boasted " without note or comment" ?
Ebion Ae > amson . All true and pertinent ; yet is it a noble Institution . Many inconsistencies , little or not little , may be overlooked , when we consider that its constitution is Christian , its field the whole-world , and its object the circulation of the Bible .
Caleb . The titled and interpolated Bible . Ebion Adamson . But the Bible still . In our zeal for the purity of its text let us not forget the power of its truths , those truths which corruption cannot obliterate or materially impair , by which it reaches the heart , commands the life , and regenerates the character .
