Errata — Page 263, line 9 from bottom, for 'orthodoxy' read orthopraxy. This is a new coin from the mint of Dr. [Andrew] Wylie [of Bloomington College, Indiana], at least I have not before noticed it. Its etymology places it in a just contrast with orthodoxy: for if that consecrated word indicates thinking right, orthopraxy will legitimately import doing right, and hence, as Mr. Wylie says, orthopraxy in the last dread day will pass the divine ordeal incomparably better than orthodoxy. O! that a zeal for orthopraxy would transcend the zeal for orthodoxy! ["The Millennial Harbinger," vol. iv, no. 8, Bethany, Virginia, August 1840]
Errata — 第263页,倒数第9行,将 'orthodoxy' 更正为 orthopraxy。这是 Dr. [Andrew] Wylie(印第安纳州布卢明顿学院的教授)的新词,至少我以前没有注意到过。它的词源使它与正统派形成了正当的对比:如果那个神圣的词汇表示正确的思想,那么正当实践将合法地导入正确的行动,因此,正如 Wylie 先生所说,最后一天的正当实践将比正统派更好地通过神的审判。哦!愿对正当实践的热情超越对正统派的热情!["千禧年的港湾",第四卷,第8期,弗吉尼亚州贝瑟尼,1840年8月]
