Thomas Hartwell Horne was a defender of the comma, but in his latter years he rejected the reading.

Critical Study

In his An Introduction to the Critical Study and Knowledge of the Holy Scriptures, Volume 4 he has several pages about the comma.

VI. Before we conclude this section, it may be proper to notice the controversy respecting the clauses in 1 John v. 7, 8. concerning the Heavenly Witnesses, which has for nearly four centuries divided the opinions of learned men, and which the majority of biblical critics now abandon as spurious. As the limits assigned to this discussion are necessarily confined, we shall briefly state the evidence for and against its genuineness.

In the Textus Receptus, or received Greek Text of the New Testament, the seventh and eighth verses of the fifth chapter of this Epistle are as follows :-

Ὁτι τρεις εισιν οἱ μαρτυρουντες [εν τω ουρανω, ὁ Πατηρ, ὁ Λογος, και το ἁγιον Πνευμα· και οὑτοι οἱ τρεις ἑν εισι. Και τρεις εισιν οἱ μαρτυρουντες εν τη γη] το πνευμα, και το ὑδωρ, και το αἱμα· και οἱ τρεις εις το ἑν εισι.

In the Vulgate Latin, and our authorized English version, they run thus:-

Quoniam tres supt qui testimonium dant [in cælo, Pater, Verbum, et Spiritus Sanctus: et hi tres unum sunt Et tres sunt qui testi- monium dant in terra:] spiritus, et aqua, et sangus: et hi tres in unum sunt.	For there are three that hear record [in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost; and these are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth] the spirit, and the water, and the blood; these three agree in one.
