Thomas Grenville observes, 'The Bibliographers have all agreed in stating that only three copies of this rare edition are known-viz. in St. Paul's Library-Lord Pembroke's at Wilton- and at Bristol from Dr. Gifford. Dr. Cotton, very curious in his researches on this subject, assures me that, after the most diligent examination of the above three libraries, he has ascertained beyond all question that the present edition is not in any of those three libraries, neither does he believe that any other copy than mine is to be found. It appears that when the Flemish booksellers began in August, 1534, to print Tyndale's English New Testament, they employed Joy to correct the Press, in doing which he made several changes in it. Tyndale, dissatisfied with this, had another edition printed at Antwerp by Emperour, in November 1534, in the preface to which he complains of the changes made by Joy in the present edition, and particularly charges him with having studiously omitted or changed the word 'Resurrection' in many passages which Tyndale quotes. Joy, in reply, wrote An Apology' in the same year, 1534, which is now a rare tract.'

Mr. Offor is justly of opinion, having in his own possession the three editions printed in 1536, that this was the first and favourite edition. It is the most correct and handsomely printed of the three, and is easily to be distinguished, having the wood-cutter's mark under the portrait of St. Paul. See Herbert's Ames, p. 1545, where a similar wood-cut is described. The small woodcuts are copied from a Missale ad Usum Diocesis Leodiensis, printed at Paris by Francis Byrekman, in 1513. In this edition a line in the first epistle to the Corinthians, ch. XI. let.

This edition is a fac-simile of the former both in type and wood-cuts, size of page, number of lines, folios, catchwords, &c. and could only be distinguished by actual comparison.

The newe Testament &c. 1536. 4to. Another fac-simile reprint, distinguishable by the wood-cut of St. Paul having a blank stone under his feet, the wood-cutter's mark or mole being omitted. The error in Corinthians is supplied in Mr. Offor's copy; but in a copy of this edition in the possession of the Rev. Mr. Fletcher, of Southwell, in Nottinghamshire, the above line is omitted.

Imperfect copies also containing this reprinted leaf are in the British Museum and St. Paul's Libraries.

His anxiety was to make it as near the Latin as possible, which gave rise to many singular It was unknown to Lewis and others. Mr. Offor, upon an attentive reading of the two editions, printed this year, one in the name of Coverdale, the other of Hollybush, is satisfied that, though copied one from the other, they are distinct editions, the one by Coverdale is the most incorrect. In Matthew XXVI letter c before the cock synge, thou shalt denye me thryse' is corrected in the one by Hollybush before the cock do crowe', &c.

The contradictory marginal note in Ep. 1 John, c. 4, is omitted, with many others, and all the prologues.

In this reprint some of the errors in Coverdale's preceding edition were corrected, but it still abounds with singular mistranslations, of which Coverdale in his edition printed at Paris also in 1538 so seriously complains.

According to Fox, in his Martyrology, it was printed at the expense of Bishop Bonnor, and under the immediate care of the translator, and a few copies being sent as presents to the council and officers of state, gained Bonnor, then Bishop of Hereford, the see of London, after which, on Dec. 17, the impression was seized at Paris and destroyed by the inquisition.
