Extent of Variations (3 of 5 notes)

Part Two
Bibliology: 11 BIBLICAL CRITICISM - TEXTUAL
A DISPENSATIONAL THEOLOGY
By Charles F Baker

Angus and Green quote Bishop Westcott:

It cannot be repeated too often that the text of the New Testament surpasses all other Greek texts in antiquity, variety, and fullness of evidence by which it is attested. About seven-eighths of the words are raised above all doubt by a unique combination of authorities; and of the questions which affect the remaining one-eighth, a great part are simply questions of order and form, and such that serious doubt does not appear to touch more than one-sixtieth part of the whole text.4
