Johann Albrecht Bengel, Praefatio to the octavo Greek Testament of 1734 (Η ΚΑΙΝΗ ΔΙΑΘΗΚΗ | NOVUM TESTAMENTUM GRÆCUM ita adornatum ut in textu medulla editionum probatarum retineatur . . . (Stuttgart: Faber, 1734)), sec. XII. See, for example, p. 11 of the printing of 1762.
This is sometimes quoted as "Te totum applica ad textum, totum textum applica ad te."
Thanks for this post with link to the original doc. Everybody quotes Bengel's saying, but without a footnote to the source, which I needed to see with my own eyes. I was grateful for your posting.
