The following specimens OF the revised
edition Of the New Testament arr. according
to the new print, except that VIC omit the
marginal notes. 1t will be seen that the book

cIauters and verses are indicated BY figures
along the side of the page. The first extract
gives tie last six verses of the ninth chapter
of Hebrews and the first six verses Of the
tenth chapter. The heavy figures 10 in the
margin indicate the chapter.
