author has all the later editions mentioned, except the first Erasmus <strong>and</strong> the<br />

Complutensian, 83 in his own library. <strong>The</strong> admirable edition of the New<br />

Testament by Van Ess 84 gives all the various readings of Erasmus <strong>and</strong> the<br />

Complutensian, in the best form for comparison with each other <strong>and</strong> the<br />

Vulgate. Mill, <strong>and</strong> Wetstein, <strong>and</strong> Bengel also, give these various readings,<br />

but not in so convenient a shape. <strong>The</strong> Complutensian readings are<br />

presented very fully also in Scrivener's Plain Introduction to the<br />

Criticism of the New Testament, (Cambridge, 1861,) pp. 349-358. But<br />

the most desirable modern edition for the collation of the Complutensian<br />

text is that of Gratz, N. T. Textum Graecum ad exemplar Complutense,<br />

ed. Nova Mogunt., 1827, 2 vols. 8vo.<br />

It may be interesting to present a few illustrations of the variations<br />

between the Complutensian (1514) <strong>and</strong> the first Erasmus (1517),<br />

comparing both with Luther <strong>and</strong> our Authorized Version.<br />

In these twelve examples, Luther agrees with the Complutensian in<br />

four cases; the Authorized Version agrees in seven.<br />

Erasmus retained in all his editions his readings Nos. 1, 3, 4,<br />
