Thou shalt keep the Scriptures

A writer before Benjamin Wilkinson uses Psalm 12:6-7 as a proof-text concerning the Scriptures, contrary to the collected wisdom of the anti-KJVO movement.

Need I make any comment on these passages [i.e., the 6 passages of Scripture he is discussing, rlv]? Surely they assert themselves: for “the words of Jehovah are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O Jehovah, Thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.”1 For “the law,” or “doctrine” (margin), “of Jehovah is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of Jehovah is sure, making wise the simple.”2

1 Psalm xii. 6, 7.
2 Psalm xix. 7
Outlines of Prophetic Truth, Robert Brown (of Barton-upon-Humber), London: S. W. Partridge and Co., 1890, pp. 155-56. I am not sure, but this author might be Robert Brown (1844-1912), solicitor and philologist, who lived at Barton-upon-Humber. However, I have not found any source that connects him directly to this work.
