To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
13 by the great Father and Maker of all crea- tures, for all His children. Could any- thing be more catholic than this ? But, it is replied, that the version in use in this country, is sectarian. Who began the English version of the Bible ? Was not Wickliffe a Koman Catholic? Were not Tyndale, Coverdale and Matthew members of the same communion ? Who but the Roman Catholic Hejry the Eight— Bo- man Catholic, though apostate from the Pope — permitted it to be printed and cir- culated? Who but a R...oman Catholic Bishop drafted the license to read it, until a better translation should be provided what he hoped, "would not be until dooms- day ?" And this English version of the Bible, translated by Roman Catholics and sent forth under the seal of Roman Cath- olic Bishops, and a Roman Caiholic king, is the basis of the translation made by the authority of King James — our own un- equalled English Bible — a translation pronounced by Br. Geddes, himself a Catholic and a translator of the Scriptures, "of all versions the most excellent for ac- curacy, fidelity, and the strictest attention to the letter of the text." But if Roman Catholics would not have our English version of the Bible in the hands of their Children,they have a version of their own — the only sectarian Bible!
