HE various and conflicting opinions which have so long prevailed amongst Christians, concerning this Greek version of the ancient Scriptures, must render an enquiry into its real rank and importance, amongst the most interesting topics of Biblical investigation. As the entire phraseology of the New Testament is formed on the peculiar style of the LXX, as all our doctrinal terms are taken from its vocabulary, whilst by far the greater number of its quotations are transferred from its text; it becomes of the utmost moment to decide, whether the primitive Christians were right, or wrong, in their opinions concerning it, and whether we are warranted in maintaining opinions contrary to those, which were held by all the Christian Fathers, till the days of Jerome. In all matters of faith and doctrine, as well as of discipline, a temperate appeal to the sentiments of the primitive Church of the first three centuries, has hitherto been regarded, as a fair and legitimate mode of enquiry. The value of the writings of Bull, Pearson, Grabe, Waterland, Horsley, Lardner, &c. is chiefly to be estimated by such a standard. But on a matter of Scriptural and historical fact, like that of the universal reception of the Septuagint Version, the usage and authority of the primitive Church become absolute and paramount.

Excerpt from An Apology for the Septuagint: In Which Its Claims to Biblical and Canonical Authority Are Briefly Stated and Vindicated This "Apology" may be regarded as a natural sequel to my Hellenistic Edition of the Greek Testament. Whilst acting as an editor, I felt it my duty, to abstain strictly from all general and argumentative reasoning. Trusting solely to the value and amount of the copious materials compiled from the LXX. I never presumed to interpose any comments or observations of my own. Whatever of comment or illustration may be found in that Edition, is always stated in the words and language of others. But the time has arrived, when I may venture to break silence, and give vent to thoughts, which have been long brooding. After such a long and continuous study of the Septuagint, it was natural, that I should have come to some clear and definite conclusion, concerning its Scriptural and Canonical authority.
