I feel most keenly the disgrace of circulating what I feel to be falsified copies of Holy Scripture (a reference to the A.V.?), and am most anxious to provide something to replace them.

at present I find the presumption in favour of the absolute truth – I reject the word infallibility – of Holy Scripture overwhelming.

the fanaticism of the bibliolaters, among whom reading so many ‘chapters’ seems exactly to correspond to the Romish superstition of telling so many dozen beads on a rosary

Think of that vile Textus Receptus leaning entirely on late MSS.; it is a blessing there are such early ones

If you make a decided conviction of the absolute infallibility of the N.T. practically asine qua non for co-operation, I fear I could not join you, even if you were willing to forget your fears about the origin of the Gospels.
