Note 263 — THE PREFACE.
Reading edition
In the MSS. of Knox, and in Vautrollier's edition, the erroneous date, 17th July, is given instead of the 17th August, as the day when the Confession of Faith was ratified by Parliament. The same mistake occurs in the rare edition of the Confession, printed at Edinburgh by John Scott, 1561, 4to.—See Herbert's Typographical Antiquities, vol. iii. p. 1817.
