London: Pr. by Augustine Mathewes one of the assignes of Hester Ogden 1633. Folio 33.3 cm 13.25". Frontis. engr. t.-p. 58 912 18 25 1 206 2 17 1 blank pp. <br><br>When the Jesuit scholars at Rheims succeeded in printing their Catholic translation of the New Testament into English first edition 1582 the event affected various English Protestant scholars in different ways: Some were offended or outraged others intrigued and yet others spurred to action. William Fulke of Pembroke College Cambridge was among those offended outraged and spurred: In 1589 he produced the first edition of his work attempting to refute the Rheims New Testament. His approach however � which was to print the Rheims NT in parallel columns with the Bishops' NT the then accepted version of the Church of England supplying accompanying notes and explanations � had unforeseen consequences.<br> As Darlow and Moule comment "by printing the Rheims Testament in full side by side with the Bishops' version Fulke secured for the former a publicity which it would not otherwise have obtained and was indirectly responsible for the marked influence which Rheims exerted on the Bible of 1611." Alan Thomas elaborates by observing that "many a dignified or felicitous phrase was silently lifted by the editors of King James's Version and thus passed into the language" Great Books and Book Collectors p. 108.<br> This is the fourth edition "wherein are many grosse absurdities corrected." A portrait of William Fulke precedes the engraved title-page both done by William Marshall. The Biblical text is followed as issued by Fulke's Defense of the Sincere and True Translation of the Holy Scriptures into the English Tongue against the Manifold Cavils Frivolous Quarrels and Impudent Slanders of Gregorie Martin. <br> <br> STC 2nd ed. 2947; Darlow & Moule 371; ESTC S121246; Herbert 480.
