We arc led. 1>y all data upon which
we calculate the antiquity of manu
script*, to assign tire Cordcx Sinati-
cus to the middle of tbe fourth cen
tury. Tlio evidence in favor of ao
great an age is mure certain in the
case rf the ftiualt* Codex, than ia
that of th« Vatican manuscript. It
is even 'uot imi>o*stbic that the Si
uaitic Codex—wr cannot say as mnrh
of the Vatican JfS.—farmed one of
the fifty copies of the feibh* whleb
in tlie year 331 the Emperor Constan
tine ordeml to lit- executed for Con-
Ntsntlnople under the dirortion of
Eusebius, the Bishop of Crcaarea,
I rest known as a Church historian.
In this case it must be under stood
that the Kmpcror Justinian, the
ftander of the SinaiUc monastery,
sent It a* a present from OonsUnti
noph- to the monks at 9tti*i. Tbe
manuscript was edited by the dts
eoven r in 1802 at the cort of the
ItUHsiau Emi>ctx>r Alexander II, in n
(brut a* literally exact as it was
sptcmfiil; the Now Testament of the
same was reproduced for ordinary
use In a cheaper form in 1883 add
1885.

we have beau saying applies meet of
all fa the Codex Sinai tiros, which,

The reader will now be to a posi
tion to understand tbe preeise value
which this edition of the New Testa
ment has, both far the scholar and
for the ordinary' Christian. We
propose to bring together, to the
remainder of this article, the most
important variation* hrtwmn tbe
authorized vcision.and the Sinaitic,
Vatican and Alexandriuo Codices, as
revealed by a rarefal revision of the
whole teat. Of course k will tm .

difference has seemed to us trifiinir

question, aad important oulp tamo

inestimable value to the world, wo

One remark of a general character
in this regardhuiy,however, he made.
There are ftr-qortrt Instaneee in all
three of the codices of the change
of the Word •‘the," in the original tact,
tnro “my' amr-onr.* before tbe term
“Father," which would seem to imli-
(xitc a doctrinal bias in tbe nitm! of the
later copyist. These are so numerous
that we hare omitted them from oar
ejiitome. Notable examples, how '
ever, are to be found ip Mart. xL 27,
where the fsiuaitic Codex reads; “'All
thing* are delivered unto use of As
Father," instead of “my Father;"
John vi, 05, “No man can come unto
me except it wero given unto him
ot tie Father;" and John viii, 38, “I
s|>cak that which I have seen with
the Father, and ye do that which
yflli have seen with your father," in
both uf which the same change
occurs. .t-v,.• * •
