Bibles is needlessly to unsettle mens minds, and shake their confidence in a book which is familiarised with their daily occupations and habits of thinking, and towards which therefore it is desirable that they should entertain no other feelings than those of a reposing conviction of its practical perfection. I do not under-rate this objection. But my answer to it is, that in proportion to the importance of having the sacred text settled is the importance also of having it settled on a true and safe foundation. And there may probably be readers among the ordinary ranks of those who go every day to draw water out of these wells of salvation, who may sometimes encounter a degree of perplexity in weighing and comparing together some of the more difficult passages as they stand in our translation.
