The Protestant : essays on the principal points of controversy between the Church of Rome and the Reformed : with an appendix illustrating Jesuitism, monachism and popery in America ... approbation of books of this sort is to be given in wri-ting, so that it may appear in front of the written or printed the whole of this examination and approbation is to be done gratis,that what is good may be approved, and what is bad rejected. Here the arrogance and intolerance of the church of Rome appear,in binding all men down to one translation of the Bible. Even theirown translations into modern languages, by the index of Pius IV., areforbidden books; and it is an unpardonable sin to read them withoutlicense from a bishop or inquisitor. And, as if this were too great aprivilege, in the after edition of Clement IV., it is declared that allpower of granting such license is taken away. But the chief thingto be observed in the above decree, is an absolute prohibition of theexercise of private judgment in reading the scriptures; which is asbad as a prohibition of reading them. It is made a very dangerousthing to read the Bible; for if one should find a meaning in a passage. No. 19. 1. The Lords Prayer, &c. 2. Priest breaking the Host. p. 7-
