None of the manuscripts used by Erasmus dated earlier than the 11th century and some of the seven were from as late as the 15th.
Where to start with such a festering mass of ignorance about manuscript history. Well, it is interesting to not that you are spouting the Erasmus-had-only-7-manuscripts version of the lie instead of the more standard Erasmus-had-only-11-manuscripts lie. As usual, the modernists reveal themselves as malicious mental midgets when compared to the titans of Reformation bible scholarship.
I think I'll avoid any attempt at correction. I find that the roll-yer-own-Bible people are pretty determined in their efforts to create their peculiar bibles. Of course, they have to in order to fit into it the modern lunacies of the evangelical churches and charismaniac churches and sodomite churches and feminized churches.

I think I'll avoid any attempt at correction. A good idea coming from the guy who talks about the Textus Vaticanus and the Textus Sinaiticus, and who thinks the Received Text were some ancient Byzantine manuscripts used by Erasmus.
You don't know what you're talking about so yes, avoiding any attempt at correction seems wise on your part. I'll save you the embarrassement and let it drop, too.
