D. London, 1776. 12mo. 2 vols. This edition, says Bishop Marsh, 'is certainly entitled to a place among the critical editions of the Greek Testament, though it is not accompanied with various readings.' Dr. Harwood admitted and rejected a variety of readings, according as they favour or oppose the Socinian doctrine. At the end of the second volume is a catalogue of the best editions of the Greek Testament, with a list of the most esteemed commentators and critics, who have either written in defence of, or favoured the Socinian system.

The New Testament, translated by William Tyndale. [Printed at Cologne in the Office of Peter Quentell, 1526.] 4to. in black letter with wood cuts, marginal notes and references. Of this edition an account will be found in Cochlæi Vita et Acta Mart. Lutheri. Lewis doubts Cochlæus's story, but the truth of it has been fully proved by the recent discovery of a fragment of the book, now in the possession of Mr. Thomas Rodd, of Great Newport-street. The inhibition of Bp.

Tonstall, which will be found printed in Fox's Martyrology, as also that of Abp. Warham's, which is in Wilkins' Concilia Magn. Brit., mention two Editions as existing in 1526, 'some with Gloses and some without.' The fragment contains a large wood cut of St. Matthew, which cut also occurs in Ruperti Abb. Monast. Tuitensis in Matthæum, lib. xiii. &c. printed at Cologne by P. Quentell in 1526, but as the block had been in part cut away before it was used for Rupertus' work, the Testament, in which it is found entire, must have been the prior publication. William Roye, who was Tyndale's assistant in the translation, gives in his Rede me and be not wrothe' some curious details respecting its first appearance, and notices a particular passage in the prologue to which great exceptions were made by Bp. Tonstall. The passage excepted to will be found in the prologue, but does not occur in the epistle to the other edition; and this prologue, with some alterations, will be found printed in Tyndale's Works, under the title of 'A Pathway to Scripture.' Cochlæus and Bp. Tonstall state that the translation was made while Tyndale was with Luther in Germany; and on comparing the two versions part of the prologue and a large portion of the notes to the English prove to be translated from the German of Luther, Sir Thomas More also, in his dialogues, 3rd book, fol. lxxxxviii, date 1530, as a reason for burning Tyndale's New Testament, observes that at the tyme of this translacyon Hychens [i. e. Tyndale] was with Luther in Wyttenberge, and set certayne glosys in the margent, framed for the settynge forthe of that vngracyous secte.' The text agrees with that of the smaller edition. Collation. -Title A i wanting, Aij, 'The prologge' occupies seven leaves, ending on the reverse of B iiij. The next sheet has no signatures on the first two leaves, but on the third is Ciij. The first page of the sheet contains the table, on the reverse of which is a wood-. cut of St. Matthew, occupying the entire page. On the opposite page the book commences The Gospell of S. Matthew.' the following leaf the folios commence fo. iij, and continue correctly to fo. xxiiij, on the reverse of which this fragment terminates, being in the xxii chap. of Matthew. Besides the large cut of S. Matthew, the book contains initial letters cut in wood, the whole of which, with one exception, occur in other books printed at Cologne between the years 1523 and 1534. One of the letters occurs also in Coverdale's Bible, 1535. The type is a German gothic character, size of the frame work in length, including head line, 5 inches, breadth 5 inches; 38 lines in a page, head line included. No paper mark.

On

The new Testament [translated by William Tyndale, 1526]. small 8vo. Of this edition, heretofore considered the first,

two copies, both imperfect, are all that are at present known. The first and most perfect, wanting only the title, was the Harleian copy; subsequently it passed into the possession of Joseph Ames, at whose sale it was purchased by Mr. John White for 15. 14s. 6d. and was sold by him for 201. to Dr. Gifford, who bequeathed it to the Baptist Museum, Bristol. The second copy, very imperfect, was lately discovered by the Rev. Dr. Cotton in the library of the chapter of St. Paul's. Collation of the Bristol copy. The book commences on sign. A ij, the title, which would be A i, being wanting. The Gospel of S. Matthew to the end of Revelations occupies cccliij folios; on the reverse of the last is the Epistle 'To the Reader,' occupying three pages, then 'The Errours committed in the printynge,' 2 pages and a half. The following is the order of the signatures, A to Z, AA BB, A a to Tt 4, on which the book ends, all, except the last, being in eights. A full page contains 33 lines. It has a small wood-cut at the beginning of most of the books, and several blooming capitals. In the epistle, which will be found reprinted in the Christian Observer, Tyndale mentions the worke nowe at the fryst tyme set forth.' Specimens of the version are given in Dr. Cotton's List of Editions of the Bible, and much curious information respecting Tyndale's editions will be found in Lewis's History of the English Translations of the Scriptures, ch. II; Abp. Newcome's Historical View, sect. III; Cotton's List of the various Editions of the Bible; Horne's Introduction to the critical Knowledge and Study of the Holy Scriptures, vol. ii. pt. ii. pp. 58-60; Walter's Letters to Bishop Marsh, pp. 43-52, 75-90; Ames's Typographical Antiquities by Herbert; &c.

The new Testament translated by William Tyndale (1527). 12mo.

The Newe Testamet of our Sauiour Jesu Christ, newly and faythfully ouerseen and corrected. (1527.) A copy is in Bishop Cosin's library at Durham; which may turn out to be the 1527 of Tyndale, or some one very early and unknown. The title is in a small compartment of four parts, —top and bottom scriptural subjects-on the top the creation and the birth of our Saviour at the bottom Adam and Eve beguiled and the crucifixion. The volume consists of 446 leaves, on the last of which is the revelation of St. Judas. There are 26 lines in a full page. The Gospel of St. Matthew begins on fol. 11, and the volume extends to Rr in eights. The chapters are marked into portions by large letters in the margin, and there are a few marginal notes. It has likewise ornamented capitals, the first T, two boys carrying on a stick a dead stag, with the head upwards. For the above account the editor is indebted to Dr. Bandinel of the Bodleian
