Hort: "Vile/Villainous Textus Receptus"

I had no idea till the last few weeks of the importance of texts, having read so little Greek Testament, and dragged on [with the work of translating] with the villainous Textus Receptus. [...] Think of that vile Textus Receptus leaning entirely on late MSS. ; it is a blessing there are such early ones. . . .
