"WITH THE BIBLE IN GREECE" 121 Corgialegno dilatory Greek financiers]. What think you? I hope that it is not a Sin to say so. (1823, October 29. Letter 1109, to Charles F. Barry, Vol. VI., p. 271.) Besides the tracts, etc., which you have sent for distribution, one of the English artificers, (hight Brownbill, a tinman,) left to my charge a number of Greek Testaments, which I will endeavour to distribute properly. The Greeks complain that the translation is not correct, nor in good Romaic: Bambas can decide on that point. I am trying to reconcile the clergy to the distribution, which (without due regard to their hierarchy) they might contrive to impede or neutralise in the effect, from their power over their people. M' Brownbill has gone to the Islands, having some apprehension for his life, (not from the priests, however,) and apparently preferring rather to be a saint than a martyr, although his apprehensions of becoming the latter were probably unfounded. 1824, March 4. Letter 1139, to D' James Kennedy, Vol. VI., p. 339.) Thoughts on God. (1) I trust that God is not a Jew (Vol. II., p. 35). God will not be always a Tory (Vol. V., p. 235). |
