The preservation of the writings

“…the providence of God hath manifested itself no less concerned in the preservation of the writings, than the doctrine contained in them. The writing itself being the product of his own eternal counsel for the preservation of the doctrine, after a sufficient discovery of the insufficiency of all other means for that end and purpose. And hence, the malice of Satan hath raged no less against the book, than the truth contained in it.” 

John Owen, The Works of John Owen, Volume 4, p. 383

“It is true, we have not the Αυτογραφα of Moses and the prophets, of the apostles and evangelists; but the απογραφα which we have, or copies, contain every iota that was in them.” 

John Owen, The Works of John Owen, Volume 4, p. 393
