of God's Word and Sacraments," &c. At the end of the New Testament are "Two right profitable and fruitfull Concordances, or large and ample tables alphabeticall," &c., &c. Altogether, it is a curious volume. 1580. THE NEW TESTAMENT, from the Latin of Theo. Beza; with short expositions by Villerius; Englished by Tomson.-12mo, London, 1580. (G.) 5. Imperfect-beginning with Luke, vi., 11, and ending with Rev., xiii., 1583.-THE BIBLE. (Genevan.) Translated according to the Ebrew and Greeke, &c., with most profitable annotations, &c. Imprinted by Chr. Barker, Printer to the Queen's most excellent Maiestie, &c. -Fol., London, 1583. (G.) This version contains a Poem on the value of the Bible; various and curious woodcuts, maps, diagrams, &c., and is a perfect copy, and a beautiful specimen of Black letter type. The Book of Psalms, as well as the Old and New Testaments, have each an engraved title page. The first Genevan edition was that of 1560, which contained an epistle to the queen, and another to the reader, not inserted in the subsequent edition. Upwards of fifty editions of this version were printed during thirty years. Mr. Cotton says its notes were retained in some of the editions of King James's version as late as 1715. "This Bible," says Mr. Pettigrew, "is well known as the 'BREECHES BIBLE,' from the translation of Gen., iii., 7. The Genevan translation is unquestionably the first to print it so, but I find that it is used in a MS. Wicliff Bible now in the British Museum, in 2 vols., fol. The passage reads thus: 'And whan yei knewen yat ya were nakid, ya sewiden ye levis of a fig tre, and madin brechis to hem self. [See Bib. Sussexiana, p. 307.] The passage in this edition of the Genevan version differs from Wicliff, and reads thus: “And they knew that they were naked, and they sewed figge tree leaves together, and made themselves breeches." 1595.-THE BIBLE. (Genevan.) Imprinted by the deputies of Chr. Barker, &c.-4to, London, 1595. (G.) This edition also contains the Poem, and many of the plates and maps of that of 1583, in smaller size. It is in Roman letter. At the end is an imperfect copy of Sternhold and Hopkins's Psalms, in Black letter. 1596.—THE BIBLE. (Black letter. Title in Roman.) Imprinted by the deputies of Chr. Barker, &c.—4to, London, 1596. (G.) Not found in the Sussex Catalogue. Dr. Cotton mentions but three copies of it. This copy is imperfect in its preliminaries; and the whole of Genesis, and the first ten chapters of Exodus, are supplied from the authorized edition of 1613, being of the same letter. After the New Testament there are "Two right profitable and fruitfull Concordances, &c., alphabeticall," &c., with a Preface by Robert F. Herrey, dated 1578; after which is a nearly perfect copy of Sternhold and Hopkins's Psalms, set to music, with a recommendatory preface to the reader, as a work whereby he may "the more easily come to the knowledge of perfect solefayeing." After the Psalms are the Ten Commandments, the Lord's Prayer, the Creed, and a Prayer to the Holy Ghost, all in metre, and set to music, together with the benediction, a lamentation, and a thanksgiving, with a closing prayer, commencing thus: "Preserve us, Lord, by thy deare Worde; 1599.-THE BIBLE.

Title page of the Old Testament and first four chapters of Genesis wanting. 1605.-THE BIBLE. (Black letter.) Imprinted by Robert Barker, &c.-4to, London, 1605. (G.) A similar edition to that of 1596. This copy also is imperfect. Title pages gone. The only interest that attaches to this copy is in some MS. verses prefixed to the volume, with the following note appended: "This Bible was brought to America by one of the New England Pilgrims. The accident which befell it, and the manner in which it was repaired, are faithfully described in the following verses," &c. Dated Norwich, 1828. 1610.-THE BIBLE; that is, the Holy Scriptures contained in the Old and New Testament; translated according to the Ebrew and Greeke, &c. Imprinted by Robert Barker, Printer, &c.-Fol., London, 1610. (G.) This is one of the last editions of the Genevan version, previous to that of King James. But one copy of it is mentioned by Dr. Cotton, that of the Earl of Bridgewater. The Old and New Testaments and the Psalms have each an engraved title page. 1610.-THE HOLY BIBLE, faithfully translated into English, &c., with arguments of the books and chapters, annotations, tables, and other helps for the better understanding of the text, &c.

This is an exact reprint, page for page, in Roman letter, of the authorized version published in the year 1611, in Black letter, folio, with the Translators' Preface, the Apocrypha, and the Dedication to the King. It is collated with a subsequent edition of 1613, and a list of various readings appended. The reprint of the text is so exactly literatim as to retain even the manifest errors of the press. 1612.-THE HOLY BIBLE, conteyning the Old Testament and the New, &c., &c. (King James's version.)
