'The language is clearer and choicer, more impressive and more capable of making itself remembered, and the translation more faithful and accurate than any that went before. The improvement is everywhere perceptible to the judgment and to the ear.

Both from a spiritual and from a literary point of view few things are more to be desired by a Christian community than a translation, as good as care and skill can make, of those Holy Scriptures which are the guide and the solace of life, and which make their readers wise unto salvation.'
