Excerpt from Letter to Joseph John Gurney, Esq.: Animadverting Upon That Part of His Work Which Relates to the Ordinances of Baptism, and the Lord's Supper Here also we agree. I believe it is almost univer sally allowed, that our translation comes as near, if not nearer, to the original, than that in any other modern language, and that from it we may learn all that is necessary for our salvation. Critics and anno tators, generally speaking, only bewilder their readers; and it would have been well for the world, had the Bible been left more to speak for itself. Upon your admission that it is sufficiently clear, I shall discuss the different points on which we essentially differ.
