Kilburne informs us that 20,000 copies of this Bible were dispersed. It is full of errors of the press, both by omitting words and sentences, and by change of readings. Many of these errors were corrected, as they were discovered, by cancelling the leaves. This copy possesses about half of the cancels. This edition may be distinguished from the following by the whole of the first four Psalms being upon the recto of folio A a 8, and by the running titles being in capital letters. A very pretty little pearl Bible, measuring 44 by 2 inches. Among the typographical errors in some of the copies are such as these: "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall inherit the kingdom of God."I Cor. vi. 9. "Ye cannot serve and Mammon" (God left out).-Matt. vi. 24. 1127. BIBLE (English).

Title engraved by L. Lucas, with the names of the Books on the reverse. This is probably a Dutch counterfeit of the preceding.

This, perhaps the finest Bible ever printed at Cambridge, being revised at the time and carefully printed, has served as standard for many subsequent editions. There are, however, some extraordinary errors in it which have led smaller sheep astray. The famous typographical error that is said to have cost Cromwell a £1,000 as a bribe in the Roundhead times, is found here in Acts VI. 3, "whom ye may appoint," instead of we, which, of course, clears Cromwell. 1099.

It was translated by John Eliot, Thomas Welde and others, in Boston and Roxbury, and was printed by Stephen Daye at Cambridge in New England. It is very rare even in America, and this fine clean and perfect copy is believed to be the only one known in Europe. Here is a sample : O Blessed man, that in th' advice 2 But in the law of Iehovah, and in his law doth meditate, 3 And he shall be like a tree that in his season yeilds his fruit, and his leafe never withers.
