Incorrect punctuation

[edit]

Re first paragraph, part (2). I consulted two editions, one from the mid 18th and the other from later on in the 19th century and they both agree that "an unjust pretension, for who made man's mouth, in whose hand is his breath, and whose is the air he breathes in" should have a question mark at the end, but they also punctuate the sentence differently (multiple question marks, or part of the sentence in parentheses). It might be worth, at some point, comparing with the First Edition that covers Psalms, and with the last revision of the relevant volume produced under Matthew Henry's supervision. --PeterR2 (talk) 20:37, 12 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

I also found and marked two other instances of incorrect punctuation on this page. --PeterR2 (talk) 21:34, 12 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
