[BIBLE, in English]. The Holy Bible Containing the Old Testament and the New. -- Index Biblicus: or an Exact Concordance to the Holy Bible. -- The Whole Book of Psalms. Cambridge: John Field, 1668, 1666.
3 works bound in one, 4to (234 x 174 mm). Engraved architectural title by John Chantry. (Lacking dedication leaf, some minor browning or spotting, a few tiny rust-holes affecting letters). Contemporary blind-panelled calf (lacking clasps, sticker affixed to upper cover, some light wear, hinges starting with a few gatherings becoming loose). Provenance: Dorothy Gerrard Thurwall (gift inscription).
This edition, printed in small type, is widely known as the "Preaching Bible," owing to its supposed suitability for use from the pulpit.
