Boston Public Library (Rare Books Department) copy bound in early calfskin double-panelled in gilt and blind. The central panels have gold-blocked cornerpieces and contain the armorial super-ex-libris of a Knight of the Garter. Still visible within the now deteriorated escutcheons are two crescents above a fess -- possibly the arms of Sir Henry Lee, of Ditchley (1533-1611), Champion to Queen Elizabeth I and Master of the Armoury. The initials "W.C." (or W.G.) are present under the privilege on the title page.

Boston Public Library (Rare Books Department) copy is the first of two items bound together in one volume. This volume contains [1]: The booke of common prayer (1605) -- [2]: The whole booke of Psalmes (Company of Stationers, 1606).
