French Tranflation of the New Teftament, according to the Vulgate.

In 1675, a new Edition of the Greek Teftament was publifh'd by the Univerfity of Oxford ; and great Care ta- ken therein, to compare the common Greek Text with all the moft anticnt Manufcripts in England, France, Spain, and Italy ; and to note the Differences obferv'd therein.

In the Preface to this Work, the Editors fpeaking of the divers Vcrfions of the Bible in the vulgar Tongues, obferve of the Vulgate, that there is no Verfion in any Language to be compar'd with it. — And this they juftify, by comparing Paffages that occur in the moft celebrared Greek Manufcripts, with the fame Paffages in the Vulgate, where there is any difference between that and the common printed Greek Copy.

In effect, 'tis probable, that at the Time the antient Ita- lic, or Vulgate Verfion of the New Teftament was made, and at the Time it was afterwards compar'd with the Greek Manufcripts by S. Jerom 5 as they were then nearer the Times of the Apoftles, they had jufter Greek Copies, and thofe better kept than any of thofe ufed when Printing was firft fet on foot, two Centuries ago.

M. Simon calls the Greek Verfion of the Seventy, before it was revis'd and reformed by Origen, The antient Vulgate Greek. — Origeu's Correction got the upper hand of the an- tient Greek, and joftled it out of ufe 5 fo that we have now fcarce any Copies thereof. See Seetuagint.
