— To masons and hewers of stone. And they brought tymbre and fre stone. In the other part of the Old Testament, from Ezra to Malachi, Coverdale had simply in the Great Bible to revise his own former version. The Great Bible, therefore, does not present the same amount of divergence from Coverdale's own in this part of the Old Testament as in the preceding part. Out of every hundred consecutive verses here, there will (probably) be found about fifty that, in the two Bibles, are identical in thei...r terms ; and out of the other fifty, a consider- able number in which the difference of phraseology is very slight. Take at random four chapters, one here and another there. The four we light on are Job xix., Prov. xx., Isaiah xxxii., and Hosea xiii. In these chapters the number of verses that are word for word the same in the two Bibles are : — in Job xix., fifteen out of twenty-nine : in Prov. xx., sixteen out of thirty : in Isaiah xxxii., seven out of twenty : in Hosea xiii., eight out of sixteen : in all, forty-six out of ninety-five.
