Thomas Newberry (1810-1901) was a Plymouth Brethren minister in England. In the late 1800s he edited and published The Englishman’s Bible. The following quote is credited to Newberry in several biographical sketches of his life.
“As the result of a careful examination of the entire Scriptures in the originals, noticing and marking where necessary every variation of tense, preposition, and the signification of words, the impression left upon my mind is this, not the difficulty of believing the entire inspiration of the Bible, but the impossibility of doubting it … The godliness of the translators, their reverence, the superiority of their scholarship, and the manifest assistance and control afforded to them by the Holy Spirit in their work, is such that the ordinary reader can rely upon the whole as THE WORD OF GOD.”
