Burgon was permitted to examine the codex for an hour and a half in 1860, consulting 16 different passages. Burgon was a defender of the Traditional Text and for him Codex Vaticanus, as well as codices Sinaiticus and Codex Bezae, were the most corrupt documents extant. He felt that each of these three codices "clearly exhibits a fabricated text – is the result of arbitrary and reckless recension." The two most widely respected of these three codices, א and B, he likens to the "two false witnesses" of Matthew 26:60.
Gee one person has "feelings" that the text isn't right (like an illiterate liberal). Give me more evidence than hearsay that the text was fabricated or corrupted.
If it was "fabricated" in 300 AD I'm calling bullshit. If there is evidence it was fabricated or corrupted at another point in time (which is easily testable and verifiable through multiple scientific methods) then I'll believe it.
Also, who is Burgon? What kind of person was he? Was he playing a politicians game? His full name isn't in this source and apparently when I search there are a lot of Burgons. Why should I care what Burgon thinks? Burgon might just be full of shit.
A scripture that has been lost to history and likely gone forever. I don't see a source of him quoting from a Bible and could just as well be quoting from memory and teaching.
The sole surviving work attributed to him is the Epistle of Polycarp to the Philippians, a mosaic of references to the Greek Scriptures, which, along with an account of The Martyrdom of Polycarp, forms part of the collection of writings called Apostolic Fathers. After the Acts of the Apostles, which describes the death of Stephen, the Martyrdom is considered one of the earliest genuine accounts of a Christian martyrdom.[2] Charles E. Hill argues extensively that the teachings Irenaeus ascribes to a certain apostolic "presbyter" throughout his writings represent lost teachings of Polycarp, his teacher.[7]
That's exactly what I wrote above... 😒 There is no bible scripture from that time period that has survived to this day as far as we know.
Edit: Okay I digress, he was likely quoting from a scripture in his letter but a Bible from that time period hasn't been discovered and perserved to this day.

He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.
Then please explain and show some good sources.
So what was Polycarp quoting from in 127 AD?
