Diodati's Annotations upon the Holy Bible, expounding the difficult Places, 2d Edit. 1648. Lond. 4to. delicately bound, painted and gilt, with the Lord Fairfax's Arms, &c. being perhaps a Present to the General. But this, and those commonly called the Assemblies Annotations upon the Bible, in 2 Vol Fol. scarce come within the Design of this Catalogue, not having the Words of the Text entire, and continued. I say commonly called the Assemblies, but it is most certain that many Episcopal Divines, as Bishop Richardson, Dr. Featly, &c. had their Parts therein, as appears by a List of the Authors transmitted to me, An. 1696, by the Learned Dr. Sampson, a Person of Learning and Curiosity, and particularly knowing in those Affairs.
