"This Bible, printed in 1670, was brought from Germany to Maryland in the United States, about the beginning of the 18th century.  It had been found by a relative of the party who brought it to America, concealed in the thatch of a house where it had been deposited for safety, about five years previously, lest it should be destroyed by some of the priests  of the Church of Rome. The late Miss Elizabeth Snider of the Township of Brantford who died on the 20th of November 1875 at the age of 88 years, received it from her grandmother, and she (her grandmother) had received it from her grandmother.  Previously to her death, Elizabeth Snider  gave instructions that the Bible should be given to the Rev. Thomas Lowry, her pastor, for the purpose of being preserved in the museum of Knox College, Toronto.  Brantford, October 4th, 1880."  Cf. front pastedown.
