Excerpt from The Symmetrical Structure of Scripture: Or, the Principles of Scripture Parallelism, Exemplified in an Analysis of the Decalogue, the Sermon on the Mount, and Other Passages of the Sacred Writings
But the Work is not designed for the Scholar alone. It has been the Author's endeavour to avoid the parade of learning, by which the meaning is too often overlaid in works of criticism, and to exhibit as far as possible only results, in language intelligible to ordinary readers.
With few exceptions, the rendering of the Authorized Version has been retained (unless in the extracts from Bishops Lowth and J ebb), in order to prove to the unlearned reader, how little the exact correspondence of the Parallelisms is dependent on any questionable changes in the translation.
