To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Sir, w^hich cause is more honest. Christian, and Protestant ? Then what an odour of Popery there is in the state- ment that it is necessary there should be " one version of the Holy Scriptures in the English language, for every denomination of Protestant Christians throughout the world !" Surely this is the spirit of the Vatican again ; an inability to conceive of any good being done, or the cause of Christian truth promoted, but by a level uni- formity. Why, Sir, every Englishman who has a Bib...le with references carries two different translations with him, and has Protestantism ever suffered by this ? The last statement of the speech, on this point, surpasses my comprehension, and I must leave it to others more skilled in platform platitudes to unravel its meaning. How the right of private judgment is maintained by a false trans- lation, or how it would suffer from a correct one, are matters which I must leave to those whom the utterer of the paradoxes may choose to enlighten on the subject.
