Excerpt from A Plea for the Critical Study of the Scriptures Against Romanism and Rationalism: A Discourse But the Protestant principle is this - to appeal from all versions to the primitive Scriptures. The Papist tells us that our Bible is not the Word of God. We confront him with the very law and the testimony in the original tongues. We claim no doctrine or rule of faith on the authority Of a mere version which is human. And we are willing to contest every inch of ground on this sole platform of the primitive and inspired record. Rome has built her own system on a version of man. And thus it is that she alone, of all the Churches in the world, has a Sectarian Bible.
