The London colophon is used at the end of the second table in the New Testament.
The section containing the Apocrypha is omitted, though it is listed in the contents. "These 1599 Bibles are the first in which the Apocrypha were omitted".

This is one of the seven ed. of Laurence Tomson's revision of the Geneva Bible, all bearing the same date, 1599, and which were printed in Holland for use among the Puritans of the Low countries. But undoubtedly many copies were circulated in England. -- John Rylands Library Catalogue of English Bibles, p. 239.
