I will oppose B the Vatican Manuscript first, foremost, altogether, simply because it is the Vatican Manuscript, because I have to receive it from Rome, because I will have no Bible from Rome, no help from Rome and no complicity with Rome; because I believe Rome to be an apostate.

A worshipper of Bread for God; a remover of the sovereign mediatorship of Christ; a destroyer of the true gospel, she teaches a system which, if any man believes or follows as she teaches it, he will infallibly be lost — he must be.

Notice what is omitted in the Vatican Manuscript —Timothy and Titus, Imputation see verse 18. Hebrews, The doctrine of the Blood-Atonement once for all. The Apocalypse, Christ coming to catch up the true Church and to deal with the Mother of Harlots.

On any ground I will not pin my faith on Rome. I do not know what she has got. No man knows how many omissions she herself has made in what she has got. I will not take my Bible — not the bulk of it — from her apostate, foul, deceitful, cruel hands.

“Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes”

I fear the Latins bearing presents in their hands.
