Beneath, is the printer’s device, thus :

There are neither paginary numerals, signatures, nor catchwords to
this edition ; but the chapters are marked by gothic numerals. Each
column is about 2f inches wide, and 71 long. A full page contains
38 lines. The letter is stout and irregular (not much unlike the
modern Flemish type, says Meerman,) but it stands well in the line,
and is very readable; the press-work is indifferent. The water-
marks are a rude bull’s head, and a jug. The paper is of a delicate
tint and texture. It may be material to add, that this copy does not
contain the Psalms or the N. Testament.
