Not illustrated. 1869 Excerpt: ...the reading of the Auth. Version, which is that of the Received Text, is far better supported, and by many more MSS. The English reader may refer to p. 37, for a discussion on this passage; but if he knows no Greek, he may rest assured the Authorised Version is right and far better than the Dean's alteration "till she brought forth a son," that means nothing, and does not necessarily refer to the preceding verses, of which this verse is, nevertheless, the complement and fulfilment. The reading of the Vatican MS. must be a mistake of the copyist, who either left out the article, or had some ideas of his own on the subject.

"Lamentation and weeping, and great mourning," A.V. Here Dr. Alford tells us to omit "lamentation and." This alteration rests on his rejecting Opijvog icai, on the strength of the Vatican and Sinaitic MSS., &c But inasmuch as the verse, such as it stands in the Received Text and in the Auth. Version, is a correct quotation, and rendering of the ve...
