The present work was the 1st systematic and comprehensive
attempt to refute the arguments and accusations contained
in the Rheims N.T. of 1582. This exhaustive and
meticulous study prints successive chapters of the
Rheims version in Roman Type in one column and the
Bishop's version in italics in a parallel column,
followed by the arguments, marginal notes, and other
annotations of the Rheims Testament, followed finally
by Fulke's (1538-89) confutations. This chapter-
by-chapter reprinting, with its attendant exegetical
wrangling, though meant to demolish the Martin
translation, had the unanticipated result of giving
the Rheims translation a publicity which it would not
otherwise have obtained and was indirectly responsible for the
marked influence which Rheims exerted on the Bible of 1611.
