The Psalms are given in two versions, "The translation used in common prayer" and "The translation after the Hebrewes," printed in parallel columns. The last page of the Psalms contains the alphabetical index, "Numerus secundum Hebreos."
"The 2nd folio edition of the Bishop's Bible (1st ed., 1568); a reprint of the 1568 Bible so far as the Old Testament is concerned, but the New Testament has undergone further careful revision under the supervision of Archbishop Parker.
