Book excerpt: Excerpt from The London Quarterly Review, Vol. 54: April and July, 1880 Scripture is like a nose of wax, which every man may twist according to his own fancy. We cannot touch upon the brief history of the first French translations of the Bible into the French; but pass to the more important scene in which Erasmus and Luther, with their coadjutors, play their conspicuous part. Erasmus is the Hesperus of the modern host. The following words are a translation of some of the stirring sayings with which he began the campaign, taken from his Enchiridion Militia Ckristiam' Paul would have us to be always armed with praeer and knowledge; he tells us to pray without ceasing. Ere you see the difference bet ween human and Divine letters; for all Holy Scripture is divinely inspired, and proceeds from God as its author. That which is least in it tends to show the humility of the word, which encloses great mysteries as it were under con temptible phrases. Since faith is the only door that lets in to Christ, it is a rule of the first importance that you think rightly of Him and of the Scriptures delivered from Him by His spirit. And you must believe them, not only with the lips, as boldly, fearfully, and doubtingly as common Christians do, but, with the whole heart, letting the word dwell rootedly within you, holding firmly that not a single jot is in it which does not.mightily concern your salvation.
