To undeceive the People of this Common-wealth .

WHereas there hath been , and now are great multitudes of Bibles in 12ᵒ and in 8ᵒ and in 24ᵒ ( known to all Booksellers by these Terms ) printed beyond the Seas , and Imported hither to this Common-wealth ; and these Books being extreme false , as hath been found out by examination , and full of Errors , insomuch that heretofore they have been Suppressed , Seized , and taken away in Quires and Bound , yet neverthelesse there is now great quantities Binding and Bound up most surreptitiously , and the Bibles , not only themselves false and imperfect , and basely printed , and counterfeit ; but also the binding of the said Books be bound most basely in Mutton Taffety , so termed , but in plaine Termes , in Sheeps Leather , both Black and Red , under the name of Spanish Leather and others : And also many guilded with Party Gold , and not headbanded , nor truly sowed on Slips , but on Packthread , and five Sawes in the back , and but three slips to the said sawings ; so that the people that buy them be meerly cheated of their money , and couzened in the Book and binding , and they cannot last to doe good service ; and they goe under false Names : As for example , The Bible in 12 Numprill , going under the name of Cambridge print by Roger Daniell , 1648 , and with blacke Lines round about , a counterfeit , is one of the easiest to be known ; and that and many others being sold in Tavernes , Alehouses , Inns , and in the Countrey by Hawkers , Pedlers , Running Mercuries and such like , wherby many be much couzened and deceived : Therfore this is thought fit to give notice , that all beware of this deceit , and to take notice they be sold at two shillings a Book bound , or rather under ; so that by that very price , and cheaper , they may be descryed , and by the false Binding , which will be ( God assisting ) remedyed by the Parliament and State , and such course taken , as the Common-wealth may no longer be abused , in a very short juncture of time : And of this we wish all good people to take notice of .
