Remember, too, that the textual theoretician Fenton Hort, argued that the New Testament had changed in those year before manuscripts.
Hort called them:
“primitive corruptions”
which left no manuscript evidence.
======================
The New Testament in the original Greek, the text revised by B.F. Westcott and F.J.A. Hort. (1882)

361—37°- Approximate sufficiency of existing documents for the recovery of the genuine text, notwithstanding the existence of some primitive corruptions
======================

We ran into that type of Hortian claim just the other day, Hort arguing in Acts 20:28 "with the blood of his own Son." - but there is no textual evidence for the word "Son".
Here is the Burgon discussion of that Hortian nonsense:
