These pages have been written with view to present known facts and testimonies with sufficient fulness to show the true worth of the Peshito-Syriac text of the New Covenant Writings. It is submitted,-FIRST, that there is ground for belief that this text has been so correctly copied, that it has come down to us WITHOUT MATERIAL CHANGE FROM THE FIRST CENTURY. As Dr. Scrivener says, "The Syriac was cited by Melito as early as A.D. 170," and history leaves " no room to doubt what that version was." It was the Peshito. Part of it was left in India in the time of the Apostles, and the whole book of the N. C. was received there, and in Coordistan, as well as in Mesopotamia, not very long after the time of the Apostles. The copies in all those places must at that time have been alike, because the copies made from them do still, at this time, as Dr. Scrivener says, "exhibit a text in |
