Note: One of two corrected states of John Field's error-strewn 1653 Bible, 'singled out by Kilburne for special condemnation' (Darlow & Moule). In this state three significant errors, in John 9:21, Romans 6:13 and I Corinthians 6:9, have all been corrected; there is another state (Darlow & Moule 636) in which only the error in Romans has been corrected.
