They wrote:“Little is gained by speculating as to the precise

point at which SUCH CORRUPTIONS

CAME IN. THEY MAY BE DUE TO THEORIGINAL WRITER, OR TO HIS

AMANUENSIS if he wrote from dictation, or

they may be due to one of the earliest

West c o t t Doubt ed

Writing in his Diary, August 11, 1847, Bishop B.F. Westcott wrote:

“I never read an account of a MIRACLE but Iseem instinctively to feel ITSIMPROBABILITY , and discover some WANT

OF EVIDENCE in the account of it.” [ArthurWestcott, Life and Letters of B. F. Westcott, Vol. I,

Anglican Church] “The authors of the Article

doubtless assumed t he s t r ic t ly HISTORICALCHARACTER of t he ac c ount of t he FALL INGENESIS. This assumption is now, in my belief, NO
