'The authentique corrected Cambridge Bible, revised Mandato Regio, by the learned Doctor Ward, Doctor Goad of Hadley, Mr. Boyse, Mr. Mead, &c., and printed by the elaborate industry of Thomas Buck Esquire and Mr. Roger Daniel in folio in 1638.' (William Kilburne's tract Dangerous Errors in Several late printed Bibles ..., 1659, reprinted in the Introduction to Loftie's A Century of Bibles, 1872, p.35.) In this edition, thus favourably noticed by Kilburne, the work of correction begun in the folio Cambridge Bible of 1629 was carried further. The revisers took special pains to render uniform the use of italics; and they also introduced a certain number of new readings: e.g. Matt. xii. 23, Is not this the sonne of David? (for Is this ...), and 1 John v. 12 ... hath not the Sonne of God (of God added). Here first occurs the famous reading in Acts vi. 3, ... whom ye may appoint (for ... whom we ... ). This alteration has often been ascribed to the Puritans, and was reputed to have cost Cromwell a bribe of £1000; yet here it is found as early as 1638, in a Bible prepared under the royal sanction. This remained the standard text until the publication of Dr. Paris' Cambridge edition of 1762. (Herbert/ Darlow & Moule)

According to the editor's Report the quarto was finished first, the folio being afterwards printed from the same type, differently disposed. The example in the collection cited by Herbert/Darlow & Moule refers to the copy having 'a MS. note by Josiah Pratt (1768–1844, English clergyman) states that 'a great part of the folio edition of 1769 having been destroyed at Woodmason's fire, a copy of that edition is scarcely to be purchased at any price. A copy of this edition is also very rarely to be met with; sometimes it may be found with a New Testament of later date substituted for that of 1769'.
