A Thin Slice of the Sea-Unicorn's Horn, white and solid; the Present of Mrs. Dorcas Dyneley, to whose Great-Grand-Mother, Frances, then Daughter-in-Law to Archbishop Parker, and after the Wife of Archbishop Matthews, Queen Elizabeth gave this very Piece.

Curious Needle-work of the celebrated Mrs. Frances Matthews, who had a Bishop to her Father, an Archbishop to her Father-in-Law, had four Sisters married to Bishops, as her self was to an Archbishop. A Book with embroidered Cover of Gold and Purple Silk. Laces of different Sorts with deep Escalops (one of 3 Inches); and what is the Curiosity of them, not sowed, but woven or netted in that Form. A Knot of Ribband with these Words in Capital Letters very distinct, The Hand that wears this Fetter, to Bounty is no Detter; yet is the Breadth of the whole Ribband not the 8th Part of an Inch, all performed by the same curious Hand, and presented by her Grand-Daughter Mrs. Dorcas Dyneley. A Shred of fine Linen, that my Friend, who sent it, received from Mrs. Kath. Breres, a Person of good repute and Veracity, who died at her House, and affirmed that it was spun by a Gentlewoman after her (reputed) Death, and real Burial; after which she lived several Years, bore Children and spun many Webs of fine Linen; the said Mrs. Breres was well acquainted with her, and received it from her own Hands. An antique Smoothing Iron for Linen, the Box four Inches deep being for Charcoal not Iron-heaters: It was amongst Mr. Webster's Curiosities of Clitheroe, and was given by his Kinsman of the same Name.

The English Bible in 4to. 1569, as appears by the Title of the N.T. in which Year Archbishop Parker's noble Edition of the Bible was first published, yet is this the Old Translation.

The Bible, that is the Holy Scriptures conteined in the old and new Testament translated according to the Ebrew and Greeke, and conferred with the best translations in divers Languages, with most profitable Annotations upon all the hard Places, and other things of great Importance. It is a thin Quarto in a small Character, no Time or Place of Impression mentioned, but is that Edition which is commonly called the Geneva Bible, as being translated by M. Coverdale, and other English Exiles there, of which see Mr. Strype's Life of Archbp Parker, p. 205. Certain Places in the Pentateuch, Kings, and Ezechiel, are illustrated with Figures, and two profitable Tables are annexed of the Interpretation of Hebrew Names, and of the principal Matters in the Bible: Also the Order of Times, to which the Revelations are referred, with Fr. Junius's Annotations upon that Book. The N.T. is englished by L. Tompson. This is the first Bible in this Collection that is divided into distinct Verses.

Mr. le Long in his Bibliotheca Sacra (Part 2d. pag. 310) mentions Fragmenta Biblica ex Veteri & Novo Testamento, Saxonice, a Gul. Lisle edita 4. Lond. 1638. The Title is, A Saxon Treatise concerning the Old and New Testament, written about the Time of K. Edgar, by Ælfricus Abbas, 1623, 4to. Of which I have also the other Edition 1638, entitled, Divers ancient Monuments in the Saxon Tongue, written seven hundred Years ago, shewing, that both the Old and New Testament, the Lord's Prayer, and the Creed, were then used in the Mother-Tongue, &c. whereunto is added a 2d Edition out of Ælfric's Homilies, of a Testimony of Antiquity touching the Sacrament of the Body and Blood of our Lord. Of which here is also the former Edition in 8vo. Printed by John Day, with an Attestation subscribed by Archbishop Math. Parker, and fourteen Bishops.
