152 REV. H. J. WHITE, OX VULGATE VERSION OF BIBLE, ETC. 



Greek, Coptic, Abyssinian, Armenian and Xestorian, which were in 

 accord on this point with the Anglican and Calvinistic Churches. 



Mr. Graham desired to express his great gratitude to the 

 Lecturer. He had shown how much we could learn from the 

 Roman Catholics, and how much, on the other hand, they could 

 learn from us. A little over two years ago the Rev. T. H. Darlow, 

 Literary Superintendent of the Bible Society, in the lecture which 

 he gave the Institute on Versions of the Bible, showed how the 

 spiritual power of Holy Scripture came out in languages which 

 previously had possessed no equivalent in words for the ideas which 

 had to be conveyed. This was present to his mind while Professor 

 White was delivering his lecture. The inspired Word could take 

 care of itself, and it was well for us to make ourselves acquainted 

 with the differences which exist between the different versions, and 

 to learn from them. 



The Chairman called upon the Meeting to return their sincere 

 thanks to the Lecturer for his most interesting and instructive 

 paper, and the Lecturer, in acknowledging the vote, said that it 

 was not quite certain to this day how Jerome wished to trans- 

 late the word e-iorcrtos, since he was not quite consistent in his 

 usage. Probably he intended to use the word " supersubstantial " 

 in St. Matthew. In the Vulgate, as we have it now, we get 

 both renderings ; e-i is frequently translated by " super ,; in the 

 Vulgate. 



The Lecturer further added, with regard to the second Command- 

 ment and to prayers for the dead, that he had restricted his paper 

 to the Vulgate itself, and had not included in it developments 

 which might have arisen out of the Vulgate. 



The Meeting adjourned at 6 p.m.
