A Differtation on the Ancient Versions of the Bible; shew- ing why our English Translation differs fo much from them, and the excellent Use that may be made of them to- wards attaining the true Readings of the Holy Scriptures in doubtful Places. In a Letter to a Friend. The second Edition, prepared for the Press by the Author before his Death, and now printed from his own Manuscript. By the late Rev. Dr. THOMAS Brett. In the Year 1729, Doctor Brett published a Chronological Essay in the Bible, and the Oppohtion they met with from the Church Account of the English Translations of it; and a Tract was printed in London, 1778, intitled, A List of various Editions of the Bible, and Parts thereof, in English, froin the Year 1526 to 1776. If the Reader wishes to make a deeper Inquiry into this Subject, he will find full Information, not only with reipect to various Translations of the Bible into English, but into a great many other Languages, in Mr. Le Long's р. бо. v An Introduction to the Reading of the Holy Scriptures, in- tended chiefly for young Students in Divinity. By Messrs. This is a Work of extraordinary Merit; the Authors have left scarcely Gospel Scheme, and the principal Words and Phrases the This Work, which is prefixed to the Author's Paraphrase and Notes on the Epistle to the Romans, is greatly admired by the Learned, as containing the best Introduction to the Epistles, and the clearest Ac- count of the whole Gospel Scheme, which was ever written. The Doctrine of a double Justification was disliked by Bp. Bull; and it has Jately been animadverted on, as not founded in Scripture : however that may be, it has had, in modern Times, other Supporters besides Dr. Taylor ; and it seems to have been well understood by Grellius, above 150 Years ago. Justificatio noftra vel accipitur pro ejusmodi a reatu as pæna, quam peccatis promeruimus, absolutione ac liberatione, qua fit, ut nolit nos Deus punire, fed potius nobiscum perinde velit agere, ac si jufti et innocentes effemus : vel accipitur pro ipfa salute noftra quam ali- quando consecuturi fumus. Illa Justificatio fimul ac fidem in Christum complectimur nobis contingit, et tam diu durat, quamdiu in nobis du.. rat fides, eaque viva et per charitatem efficax, feu quæ Obedientiam, qualem Christus a nobis requirit, habeat conjunctam. Hec vero poste- rist Juftificatio quæ ex illa prima fuit in adventu Domini Jesu nobis con- tinget. Crel. in Rom. c. v. and in his commentary on ; Cor. c. i, he says, Justificamur fimul atque Do&trinæ Chrifti fidem adjungimus, id est jus adipiscimur ad immunitatem ab omnibus pænis et ad vitæ æternæ adeptionem.
