35 But some man saith, How doe the dead rise againe? © and with what maner of body shal they come?

f

38 And God giveth it a body as he wil: and to every seede his proper body.

41 h One glorie of the sunne, an other glorie of the moone, and an other glorie of the starres. For starre differeth from starre in glorie.

44 If there be a natural body, there is also a i spiritual,

--

45 as it is written, The first man Adam was made into a living soul: the last Adam k into a quickening spirit.

46 Yet that is not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural: afterward that which is spiritual.

22.-N. T. imperfect, 12o. (British Museum.)

Els what do they, whych are baptised over the deed yf the deed ryse not at all? Why are they then baptised over them? yee, and why stonde we all waye then i ieoperdy?

That I have fought with beastes at Ephesus after the maner of men, what avauntageth it me, yf the deed ryse not agayne? Let us eate and dryncke, for tomorow we shall dye. Be not ye deceaved: evell wordes corrupte good maners. Awake truely out of slepe, and synne not. For some have not the knowledge of God: I speake this to youre shame.

But some man will saye: how aryse the deed? wt what boyde (sic) shall they come?-but God geveth it a body at hys pleasure, to every seed hys awne body.

Ther is one maner glory of the sonne, and another glory of the moone, & another glory of the Sterres. For one starre differeth frō another in glory.

Ther is a naturall bodye, ad ther is a spretuall body: as it is also written the fyrste man Adam was made a lyvinge soule, ād the last Ada was made a quyckenyng sprete. Howbeit, that is not fyrst which is spirituall: but yt which is naturall, and then that which is spretuall £.

23.-N. T. (Bible, by A. Purver.) 1764. fol.

29 Else what shall they do who are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not up entirely? Why then are they baptized for the dead?

30 And why are we in danger every hour?

31 That I die daily, I protest by the boasting which I have of you in Christ Jesus our Lord.

32 If according to man I fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantage will it be to me, if the dead rise not up? Let us eat and drink; for tomorrow we shall die.

33 Do not mistake: evil discourses spoil good manners.

34 Awake to righteousness, and do not sin; for some have not the knowledge of God. I speak to your shame.

35 But somebody may say, How do the dead rise up? And with what body do they come?

36 O foolish one, what thou sowest is not made alive, except it die.

37 And as for what thou sowest, thou dost not sow the body it will be, but naked grain, it may be of wheat, or of some of the rest. 38 But God gives it a body as he will, and to each seed its own body.

BIBLIOGRAPHICAL DESCRIPTIONS.

EDITIONS OF THE OLD TESTAMENT.

N. B. Editions of the whole Bible are first described; and afterwards, editions of detached portions.

1. Bible, Coverdale's. 1535. fol.

The title, within a wood-cut compartment, representing King Henry VIII. holding a sword in his right hand, and with his left hand delivering the Bible to some Bishops kneeling before him: (in different parts of the page are labels charged with sentences of Scripture, in English.) "BIBLIA. The Bible, that is the holy Scripture of the "Old and New Testament, faithfully & truly translated out of "Douche and Latyn in to Englishe, 1535." Below are three texts of Scripture. On the reverse of the title, "The bokes of the hole Byble, "how they are named, in Englysh and Latyn, howe longe they are "written in the allegacions (i. e. how they are abbreviated in the

marginal references) how many chapters every boke hath, and in "what leafe every one begynneth. The bokes of the first part "(Genesis to Deuteronomy)-of the seconde part (Josua to Esther) "of the thirde parte (Job to Salomon's ballettes)-The prophetes (Esay to Malachy)”—Then, without doubt, should follow another leaf containing the books of the Apocrypha and New Testament, with (perhaps) the contents of Genesis on the reverse. This leaf however is wanting, both in the Museum copy, and in every other which I have seen.

These "bokes" are printed in the same character as the Text. The same names are reprinted, in a different letter, after Coverdale's address to the reader. Dedication to King Henry VIII., 5 pages; called, in the running title, "an Epistle unto the Kynges hygh"nesse," and signed (quite at the bottom of the page) "youre

graces humble subiecte and daylye oratour, Myles Coverdale." This sheet bears the signature . except in those copies which have Queen Jane, where the signature is **.—“A prologe to the "Christen reader," 6 pages. "The bokes of the hole Byble:" 2 pages. "The contentes of the boke of "Genesis;" 1 page. The first book of Moses, &c. fol. i.-xc. A map of the Holy

Land; which map is extant in Lord Jersey's and Mr. L. Wilson's copies alone (as far as I have yet observed,) and is headed "The descripcion of the londe of promes called Palestina

Canaan, or the holy londe." "The second parte of the Olde "Testament." Josua, &c. to Hester, fol. ii-cxx. Job, &c. to "Salomon's balettes," (without any separate title,) fol. i—lii. on the last, "Fautes escaped in the pryntinge of this parte." "All the "Prophetes in Englishe," fol. ii-cii. "Apocripha,” fol. ii— lxxxiii. falsely numbered lxxxi. Then follows a blank leaf. "The Newe "testament," fol. ii-cxiii. on the reverse of the last is "a faute "escaped in pryntinge the new Testament;" and below, " Prynted "in the yeare of oure LORDE M.D.XXXV. and fynished the fourth "daye of October."

Round all the titles, except that to the third part, are borders cut in wood. Woodcuts are also at the beginning of Genesis, in several other parts of the O. T. and at the beginning of each book of the N. T. The letter of the Text is an angular Swiss or German. The running titles and signatures in the same. It should however be noted, that the Dedication, Prologue, and Contents of Genesis, in every copy which I have examined, are in a different character. There are a very few marginal references; these are in Roman letters. On fol. xli. of part i. is a large wood-cut of the Tabernacle and its contents; which is repeated on fol. lvi. The initial letter of Genesis is a large flourished text capital. A full page of Text contains 57 lines.

The singularity of the type at once distinguishes this edition from every other. The reimpression of 1550 is in a somewhat similar character, but smaller; and is in quarto, not folio.

2. The same edition, with Title dated 1536.

Lord Jersey's copy, formerly belonging to Mr. Fairfax, besides possessing the map, has the singularity that the title-page is dated not 1535, but 1536; and begins thus: "BIBLIA, The Byble: "that is, the holy Scrypture of the Olde and New Testament, faythfully translated in to Englyshe, M.D XXXVI." (The figures are much larger than those of the original title.) The sentences of Scripture within the labels are in English, printed with a type which, though it differs from any which is found either in the preliminary matter or in the body of the work, yet exactly agrees with that on the map; thus apparently proving that at least these two belong to one and the same edition.-[9 March 1827. Spencer-house.]

3. Bible, Coverdale's, by Nicolson, 1537. fol.

Title, within a compartment representing the king on his throne, delivering the Bible, &c. "BIBLIA The Byble, that is the holy Scrypture of the Olde and New Testament, faythfully translated "in Englysh, and newly oversene & corrected M.D.XXXVII. [Three texts of Scripture.] Imprynted in Southwarke for James Nycolson." On the reverse is, "a Prayer prescribed by Nicolas "Bysshoppe of Salisbury." "An Epistle unto the Kings hyghness," by Miles Coverdale, 5 pages. “Prologue to the Christen reader," 6 pages. "The bokes of the hole Byble," 2 pages. "The Con"tentes of Genesis," 1 page. [This sheet is signed **.] The text, beneath two woodcuts, illustrating the works of the six days of Creation, Genesis to Ruth, fol. i-cxvi. (for cxvii.) Title, within a compartment of eight woodcuts, resembling that in the edition of 1535, "The seconde parte of the olde Testament," 1 Samuel to Hester, fol. ii-c. Without any title-page, Job to Canticles, fol. i-lx. with fresh signatures. Title, within the woodcut of edit. 1535, "All the Prophetes in Englishe," (in a different style of printing,) Isaiah to Malachy, fol. ii.-ciii. Within a woodcut border," APOCRIPHA," &c. 3 Esdras to 2 Maccabees, fol. ii-lxxxix. One blank leaf. Title to the New Testament, same as in edit. 1535, with the border in addition, "The New Testament," S. Matthew to Revelation, fol. ii-cxix. Tables of Epistles and Gospels for Sundays and Saints' days, 4 pages. The Queen's name in the Dedication is JANE. Each book has its contents prefixed. There are a few woodcuts throughout the volume. Many of the running titles are in Latin. The words Jesus and Christ are printed in Roman capitals; and the word LORD, except in the Prophets and the Apocrypha; but not so the word God.

A full page contains 57 lines. Mr. Lea Wilson was of opinion that fol. xxxi. in the New Testament has been cancelled and reprinted as "it contains only 53 lines and 54: the columns are "two letters narrower; and the type is exceedingly spaced out.” A beautiful and entirely perfect copy is in the Baptist Museum, Bristol, and another is said to be in the Cathedral Library at Lincoln.

4. Bible, Coverdale's, by Nicolson. 1537. 4°.

Title, in black and red, within a compartment having columns at the sides, and a medallion charged with two heads at the top, "The Byble that is the holye Scrypture of the Olde and Newe
