O2 [FROM COLLINS' BIBLE.] AS the DEDICATION of the English translation of the BIBLE to king James the first of England seemns to be wholly unnecessary for the purposes of edification, and perhaps on some accounts improper to be continued in an American edition, the Editors have substitu ted a short account of the translations of the Old and New Testaments from the original HIebrew and Greek in which they were written To the Jews was first committed the care of the sacred Writings, and for many ages they were in a manner confined to that crnmser people. There was then no need of translations into other languages; yet was the providence of God particularly manifest in thelr preservation and purity. The Jews were so faithful to their important trust, that, when copies of the law or the prophets were transcribedthey observed the most scrupulous exactness; they not only diligently compared the one with the other, but even counted the nuinbe: of letters in each book, and compared and recorded the numbers. The first translations that were made of the Old Testament were after the Babylonish captivity. They are called the Targums which word in the Chaldean language signifies Translations, They are also often called the Chaldee Paraphrases; some of them are exact translations of different parts of Scripture; others are properly paraphrases, cortaining enlargements, explanations, and even additions. Several of them are yet extant, and they are often mentioned by the ancient fathers of the Christian church. Some have affirmed that the five books of Mwoses and that of Joshua were translated into Greek before the days of Alexanderthe Great. But the most remarkable translation of the Old Testament into Greek is called the Septuagint, which, if the opinion of some eminent writers is to be credited, was made in the reign of Ptolemy Philadelphus, about 260 years before the Christian era. At any rate it is undoubtedly the most ancient that is now extant, and on many'accounts deserving notice, though not to be put on a level with the Hebrew text, as has been sometimes done. The New Testament was originally written in Greek; and no sooner was the gospel spread through the nations than it was found necessary to translate the inspired Writings for each into its proper tongue. Some translations of the Old Testament, different from the Septuabint, were made into Greek from the year of Christ's birth 12 to 200. It is generally believed that the church of Anlltioch was favoured with a Syrian translation of the Bible as early as the year 100o The Ethiopians of Abyssinia have a version of tile Bible, wammch they ascribee o Frumentius, of the fourth century. Chrysostom, who lived in the end of the fourth, and Theodoret, who lived in the amiddle of the fifth century, both inform us that they had the Syrian, Indian, Persian, Armenian, Ethiopic, and Scythian versions The ancient Egyptians had the Scriptures translated into their language. The Georgians have a version in their ancient languages The most ancient German translation is supposed to have been made by Ulphilas, A. D. 360. The Old Testament of all these translations, except the Syrian, is taken from the Septuagint, and not immediately from the Hebrew text. We will now give some account of the translations of the Bible into the English language. There have been some who have affirmed that Adelme, Bishop of Sherburn, who lived in the beginning of the eighth century, translated the Psalms into the Saxon torngue. That however is uncertain, as some of the best historians make no mention of it w yet it is possible, as he was aoman of great parts, and of great learning for those times, and said to be the first Enlishmnan who erote in the Latin lansguageo About the same time, or a little after, Bede, commonly called the venerable Bede, translated some parts of the New Testament, some say the whole Bible, but that is not probable. Near 200 years later,king Alfred translated the Psalms into the same language. In 1382 Wickliff finished his translatior. of the Bible, which is yet extant: that is to say, there are copies of it in some public and private libraries. All these translations were made from the Vulgate. In the reign of Henry the eighth several editions of the Old and New Testaments were published in English one of the most remarkable is that of William Tyndal in 15.30. The translation of the New Testament was made from the original Greek t out Old Testament either from the Latin of the Vulgate, or the Greek of the Septuagint. This was soon followed by the improvements of Coverdale and Mathews. By order of the king Tonstal, Bishop of Dulrham, and Heath, Bishop of Rochester, made a. new translation, which was published in 1541 e but, not pleasing Henrv it was suppressed by authority. In the reign of kind Edward the sixth, another translation was made; two editions of which were published, one in 1549, and the other in 1551. In the reign of queer. Elizabeth another translation was made, which, being revised by some of the most learned of the Bishops, went by the name of the Bishops' Bible. This professed to be translated from the Hebrew of the Old Testament, and the Greek of the New, though in some instances, when there was a difference, it preferred the Septuagint to the Hebrew. This last circumstance, with some others, induced king James the first to select fifty-four persons, eminent in learning, and particularly well acquainted with the original languages in which the Old and New Testaments were written, to make a new translation of the whole Bible. In the year 1607, forty-seven of those persons, the other seven probably having died, assembled together, and arranged themselves into committees, to each of which a portion was given to translate. They were favoured not only with the best translations, out with the most accurate copies, and the various readings of the original text. After about three years assiduous labour, they severally completed the parts assigned them. They then met together, and while one read the translation newly formed, the rest had each a copy of the original text in his hand or some one of the ancient versions, and when any difficulty occurred they stopped, till by common consultation it was determined what was most agreeable to the inspired Original. This translation was first published A. D. 1610, aid is the one which has been ever since that time printed by publick authority, and generally used in the British dominions. It may be a 1ded with safety, that it has been generally approved by men of learning and piety of all denominations, of which its having never been superseded by any other, for two hundred years, is a sufficient proof. The publisher has only further to add, that he has made the following impression from the Oxford edition of 1784 by Jackson and iTlamilton-and has been particularly attentive in the revisal and correction of the proof-sheets with the Cambridge edition of 1668 by JlhIn Field-with the Edinburgh edition of 1775 by Kincaid, and, in all variations, with the London edition of 1772 by Eyre and Stra hami-that where there was any difference in words, or in the omission or addition of words, among these, he followed that which appear ed to be most agreeable to the Hebrew of Airias Monlanus, and to the Greek of Arias M~ontanus and Leusden, and always adopted s!)me one of the above-mentioned English copies as his authority, except in the mode of spelling, in which he has generally followed Johnason 3 O NTENTS OF THE BOOKS OF THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS CHAP.

Now his gran,.o. ue to itlanas; us, father Jesus, as he himself witnesseth,was a man of great diligence and wisdom among the Hebrews, who did not only gather the Jecafue it grave and short sentences of wise men, that had been before himn, but himself also uttered some of his own, full of much understand s fo-und in his Synop. ing and wisdom. When as therefore the first Jesus died, leaving this book almost 11 perfected, Sirach his son receiving it after himl, VsI. left it to his own son Jesus, who having gotten it into his hands, compiled it all orderly into one volume, and called it Wisdom, enll Or, cot- titling it both by his own name, his father's name, and his grandfather's; alluring the hearer by the very name of Wisdom, to have' a greater love to the study of this book. It containeth therefore wise sayings, dark sentences, and parables, and certain particnlaancient godly stories of men that pleased God; also his prayer and song; moreover, what benefits God had vouchsafed his people, and what plagues he had heaped upon their enemies. This Jesus did imitate Solomon and was no less famous for wisdom and learning, both being indeed a man of great learning, and so reputed also. The Prologue of the Wisdom of JESUS, the Son of SIRA Ci. -%VHEREAS many and great things have been delivered unto us by the law and the prophets, and by others that have followCed their steps, for the which things Israel ought to be commended for learning and wisdom; and whereof not only the read I Or, of an ers must needs become skilful themselves, but also they that lesire to learn be able to profit them which are II without, both by t:J. speaking and writing my grandfathef' Jesus, when he had much given himself to the reading of the law, and the prophets, and other books of our fathers, and had gotten therein good judgment, was drawn on also himself to write something pertaining to learn ing and wisdom; to the intent that those which are desirous to learn, and are addicted to these things, might profit much moie in living according to the law. Wherefore let me entreat you to read it with favour and attention, and to pardon us, wherein we may seem to come short of some words which we have laboured to interpret. For the same things uttered in Hebrew, and transnGr, lated into another tongue, have not the same force in them, and not only these things, but the law tself, and the t rophets, and the rerophecis. thm, oly tins i tself eg t propthi~ etser on I OL, excel. rest of the books,have no small II difference, when they are spoken in their own language.

Thre Redusctiosn of artdroura to Englshneasu ~e.-5. Because we have-shown from Herodotus, must have two sides of that surface given, before we can find the Area, or surface contained. There ihat an.Aroura is the square of 100 Jewish or Egyptian Cubits, and 100 such Cubits, may in En- fore Moses, ver. 5. tells us, that on each side of each city they must measure 2000 Cubits, whicc g9islr Foot measiie be expressed by 182.4 English Feet. it tbllows, that the square of this number will determine no surface, unless we understand it to mean the two sides of a square, bounded or w~ill express exactly he number of the EnglishsquareFeet that are contained in an./roura. Now every side by 100l Cubits; these two sides multiplied into each other will produce a square that by multiplication of 82.4 into itself, I find the product to be 33,269.76: Therefore I concluide that contains just amnillion of square Curbits, and that is a known and exact mteasure of just 100..lrousoc: there are 33,269 square Feet entire, and.76 Decimals of a square Foot, in an.irou.ra Now to and this shews that the 2000 Cubits mentioned ver. 0, are the two sides of that square, whereo reduce these En-lish square Feet into Rondo, Perches, and the remainder of square Feet, I use the 1000 mentioned ver 4, is one, and may be called the root of the square. This shewo the the method used in the lasr paragraph: First, I divide them by 10,890, the square Feet in a Rood; agreement of the two different numbers. The reduction of this million of square Cubits will be anc the quote I find 3.05,074 that is 8 Roods, and.055,074 Decimals of a Rood. Secondly, I multi. performed by the same method that I have used before. Therefore, first, I express 1000 Jewish ply those Decimals by 40, which is tha number of Perches in a Rood, the product is 2.202,960. Cubits by 1824 English Feet, without any Separatrix according to the principles owned in DeciHence I conclude there ace therein two Perches, and.202,960 Decimals of a Perch. Thirdly, I neal Arithmetic; and the square of that number will be 3,326,976,withoutaSeparattix. Seconrly multiply these last Du-cimals by 272,25, which are the square Feet of a Perch. The product is I divide this number by 43,560, which are the square Feet, of an Acre, and find te quote tobe 76 -5525 586.000, that is 80 entire equare Feet; the eight places Gf Decimals amount to little abovs 1-4.376,859, which signify 76 entire Acres, and.376,859 Decimals of an Acre. Thirdly, to find wia of a sqroare Foot, tlerefre I reject them as inconsiderable in measure of land. By all these re- Roods are contained in these Decimals, I multiply them by four, the number of Roods in an Acre ductrons, it is fortud, that an roura is in English measure tirree Roods, two Perches, 55 1-4 and find the quote to be 1.507,436, whch proves that there is lit one Rood in them, and the six square Feet. Hence it follows also tiat it is not well translated by Jugerum, for it is much lar- figures cut off by the Separatrix (because there were six Decimals in one of the nrltipliers) are ger; nor is it vell in Entersh called an Acre; fll Decimals of a rood. Fourthly, therefore, to find what Perches are it these last Decimals, I rise ofthe lessor sort of xl-Os which yet is moot convenient for the use of the Egyptians, and of multiply them by 40, which is thie number of Perches containel in a Rood.
