No test for the wicked
In 1631, the respectable duo of London royal printers, Robert Barker and Martin Lucas were commissioned to print a new version of the King James Bible. Almost to perfection, they did a wonderful work. Actually, considering the hundreds of thousands of words the book contains, omitting just one is pretty good. Unless, of course, it is placed smack right in the middle of the seventh commandment, and the word omitted is “not”. In this case, you get a 180 degree turn on the better accepted meaning of the commandment, which is now “Thou shalt commit adultery”.
