Thoresby, Musaeum Thoresbyanum (1713) The Pentateuch in English 8vo. printed at different Places as the Times would permit; at the End of the fyrst Boke of Moses called Genesis, is added, emprinted at Malborow in the Land of Hesse, by me Hans Luft, the Yere of our Lorde MCCCCCXXX the xvii daye of January. To this is prefixed W.T (Mr. Tyndall the Martyr) to the Reader, and a Prologe sheweinge the Use of the Scripture, wherein he answers the Popish Objection, that they wott not what moare profite is in many geftes of the Scripture, if they be read without an allegorye, then in a tale of Roben Hode. At the End is a Table expoundinge certaine words. Exodus is printed in a different Character; the Person, Time and Place concealed, W.T's Prologue is premised, wherein he compared such as go about to purchase grace with Ceremony, to soche as sucke the Ale pope to quench thirst. There are the Figures of the Altars, Lavers, High-Priests, &c. W.T's Prologue is also prefix'd to the thyrde boke Leviticus, and so to Numeri the fourthe, which is printed in the like Character with Genesis, but no Place, Time, or Printer named; nor in Deuteronomye, which is in the white Letter, as are also the 2d and 3d Books, and, I presume, were printed privately in England. This Pentateuch was the acceptable Present of Mr. Richard Beard of Shrewsbury.
