Thoresby, Musaeum Thoresbyanum (1713) 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.
