Excerpt from The Faithful Translation: An Essay in Favour of Revising and Amending King James's Version of the Holy Scriptures Thus the apostles, bound to give the gospel to all nations, but ignorant of their different languages, were qualified for the momentous charge by the gift of tongues from on high, when, on the day of Pentecost, they received the promised immer sion of the Holy Spirit. And, going out from Jerusalem, they preached everywhere the gospel of the blessed God, and signs of divine power attended and confirmed their ministry. Thus, also, in due time they committed to letters, for reasons adduced above, the biographies of our Lord, the Acts of the Apostles, and various com munications from themselves to the churches. And these writings of the apostles were not expressed in their native tongue, but in the Greek, which was the common language of the then known world. In imitation of this high example, the modern missionaries have not required the heathen to learn Hebrew, Greek, or English, in order to understand the revelation of God, but have laboured hard for years themselves to understand the original Scriptures, and to translate them cor rectly into the heathen tongues.
