Henry Alford adds: "The critical authority of the received text is very feeble. The fifth edition of Erasmus was nearly a reprint of his fourth, which was founded on his former editions corrected by the Complutensian, which had just been published at that time. But neither Erasmus nor the Complutensian editors had before them any sufficient critical apparatus whereupon to construct their text; nor did the latter use faithfully even that which they had. Wetstein has shown that their text is singularly corrupted and inaccurate. Erasmus also, besides committing numerous inaccuracies, tampered with the readings of the few Mss. which he collated. Stephens has given but a very vague account of the additional Mss. to which he had access, and the work appears to have been done with levity and carelessness."

"Considering the flagrant inaccuracy of the received text, can it be possible that any one is still disposed to stand up in its defence, and to maintain that it should continue to hold that prominent position which has so long been blindly conceded to it, and that all the facts brought to light by biblical criticism should be treated as things of nought? Even if this important science should not be able to remove every doubt, or to give a text exactly coinciding with the original in every word, and in every letter, it could yet furnish a text much more accurate than that from which the authorized version was prepared. Hence the cause of gospel truth demands that the British public should avail themselves of the extensive labours of those eminent scholars who have lived since the issuing of King James's Bible in 1611, and should turn the attainments of biblical criticism to the best account, by applying them to the purification of the received text, as a preliminary to the issuing of a new English version of the Scriptures." ~Plea for a new English version of the Scriptures, by a licentiate of the Church of Scotland
