BIBLIABiblia Sacra cum Epistola Jeronimi ad Paulinum, de omnibus divine historie libris, & prefacione ejusdem St. Hieronimi. Note, the Books of the New Testament are placed in this Order; The four Evangelists, Acts, the Epistle of St. James, of Peter 2, John 3, Jude, those to the Romans, Corinth. 2, Galat. Ephes. Phil. Colos. Laodiceans, Thess. 2, Timo. 2, Titus, Philemon, and Hebrews, the Revelations. But that noted Passage, 1 Jo. 5. tres sunt qui testimonium dant in celo, pater, verbum, & spiritus, &c. stands fairly in its due Place in the Body of the Chapter, though it be wanting in that of the Bodleian Library, N° 2700, where the Books are thus placed. In the Beginning are added in a later Hand, Tables to find the Epistles and Gospels from the first Sunday in Advent, with the Canticatamin in Feriis quam Festis & Dominicis diebus, and at the End a Table for finding Easter.

Thoresby, Musaeum Thoresbyanum (1713) Another Edition of the English Bible in Folio, of the very same Year 1549; but by the different Character, and that Shiboleth tank for thank, it appears to have been printed beyond Sea, and, I presume, at Zurick; Mr. le Long mentioning one in Fol. Tiguri (1549 vel) 1550. This hath distinct Titles before the 2d and 3d Parts of the Bible, the Apocr. and N.T. with some Notes that are not in the former; for I have not only collated, but read over entirely both the Volumes. In the Tables of principal Matters is asserted, that the Word Masse is not in the Bible, that forbidding Marriage is the Doctrine of Devils; in both these Editions the Epistle to the Hebrews is placed after those of St. Peter and St. John, and before those of James and Jude. This later hath a register of the Names of the moost famous Persons in Scripture.
