False imprint; actually printed by J.F. Stam in Amsterdam sometime after 1640. On the printing of Stam's multiple editions of the Breeches Bible see STC 2174-2180 and A.F. Johnson, "J.F. Stam, Amsterdam, and English Bibles," The Library, Sept. 1954 (pp. 185-193); the main bibliographical point distinguishing the false imprints is that they are printed in roman type, whereas the genuine imprint is in black letter.

In this edition: Esther I.1: seven and // twenty provinces; half title of second part of Old Testament has spellings: Proverbes, Ieremiah, Ioel and Ionah; on 110v of N.T., The Order of time ... has 'watched' and 'Iewes' in first line.
