(a) But there may be express testimony which gives a determining value to conflicting evidence. Thus, in Matt. v. 4, 5, the order of the benedictions in most copies (as well as the common text) is, μακάριοι οι πενθούντες …. μακ. οι πραεις κτλ . But Origen (iv. 740) says, εννοιαν δε του τοιούτου λαμβάνω επιστήσας τη τάξει των εν τω κατα Ματθαιον μακαρισμων, εν οις μετα το. μακάριοι οι πτωχοι τω πνεύματι, οτι αυτων εστιν η βασιλεία των ουρανων, εξης γέγραπται το μακάριοι οι πραεις, οτι αυτοι κληρονομήσουσι την γην· τήρει γαρ εν τούτοις ότι πρώτον μεν των μακαριζομένων η βασιλεία έστι των ουρανων· δευτέρον δε κληρονομήσυσι την γην. Now though the only MSS. in favour of this reading are D, 33, (B C D are the only MSS. of the oldest class that contain this portion), it is supported by the order of the Eusebian Canons and Ammonian Sections,* and by the Old Latin in all copies (except Cod. Veronensis, and the revised Cod. Brixianus), by the Vulgate, and by the Curetonian Syriac. So that few as the MSS . are which contain it, this reading was once widely diffused, and it is maintained by the distinct testimony of Origen and Eusebius. This express testimony overbalances all that could be said in favour of the common order of these verses, as deduced from the other MSS. and versions.
