Old Translations.

By M. E. Cornell

Eccl. xii, 13. "Let us hear the conclusion of all things, fear God and keep his commandments, for that toucheth all men."

Isa. i, 28. "The transgressors and the ungodly, and such as forsake the Lord, shall altogether be utterly destroyed."

Isa. xix, 3. "The mind also of Egypt shall be clean without counsel in itself, and the device that they take will I destroy, and they shall seek counsel at idols and at sorcerers; at workers with spirits, and at soothsayers."

Isa. xviii, 10. "For they that be such, must take after one lesson, another lesson, after one commandment, another commandment, for one rule, another rule, after one instruction, another instruction, there a little and there a little."

Jer. xxv, 28. "But if they will not receive the cup of thy hand, and drink it, then tell them, thus doth the Lord of hosts threaten you, Drink it you shall, and that shortly."—Bishops' Bible.

Rev. xxii, 9. "And he said unto me: see thou do it not, for I am thy fellow servant and the fellow servant of thy brethren the prophets and of them which keep the sayings of this book. But worship God."—Tyndale.

William Tyndale first printed the New Testament in English, 1525, and was martyred, 1536.

"Rome thundered death, but Tyndale's dauntless eye Looked in death's face and smiled, death standing by. In spite of Rome, for England's faith he stood, And in the flames he sealed it with his blood." M. E. CORNELL.
