Besides the work reprinted in the present volume, he was one of the principal persons concerned in that translation of the New Testament, which is quoted and generally known under the title of the Rhemish. The first edition was printed at Rheims in 4to in 1582: a second edition by Daniel Verveliet at Antwerp, 4to, 1600: a third in 1630, and a fourth at Paris in 1633. It was reprinted in London, with "the Bishops'" translation in a parallel column: and A Confutation of all such arguments, glosses, and annotations as contain manifest impiety, or heresy, treason and slander against the catholick Church of God, and the true teachers thereof, or the translations used in the Church of England; by Dr William Fulke.' The marginal notes of the Rhemish Testament were answered in 1588, in "A View of the marginal notes of the Popish Testament, translated into English by the English fugitive papists resident at Rheims, in France, by George Withers." The Rhemish translation was also reprinted in 1618 by some friends to the memory of the learned Thomas Cartwright,' with a Confutation1.
