length along very slowly. So early as the 29th of
March 1548, Huntly wrote thus to Somerset: "The governor has agreed to
exchange the men in the castle of St Andrews with Scots prisoners
conform to your desire, and has sent me commission therein, as I shall
show you at my coming to London: or if you send your mind to my Lord
Warden, I shall appoint with him. The governor has written to the king
of France to send the men taken in St Andrews to Rouen, to be ready for
the exchange" (Bain's Calendar, 1543-67, p. 104).]

[92] [The first edition of the Genevan version was printed at Geneva by
Rouland Hall in 1560. "The changes made in the Geneva Bible were the
adoption of Roman type instead of the black letter, in which all English
Bibles had previously been printed, and the division of the chapters
into verses. These changes were the principal cause of the wonderful
popularity of this version, of which about 200 editions are known. From
1560 to 1616 no year passed without one or more editions issuing from
the press, in folio, quarto, or octavo. In 1599 no less than ten
distinct editions were printed, each of which consisted of a large
number of copies. The last quarto printed in England is dated 1615, and
the last folio 1616. After this time a great many editions were printed
at Amsterdam by Joost Broerss and other Dutch printers; the last folio
bears the imprint of Thomas Stafford, and the date 1644.... 150,000
copies were imported from Holland after this version had ceased to be
printed in England.... Owing to the vast number of copies in circulation
during the three-quarters of a century that this version was the
household Bible of England, it is now the most common of all early
printed Bibles.... The singular rendering of the 7th verse of the third
chapter of Genesis in every edition of the Genevan version has caused it
to be commonly known as the 'Breeches' Bible" (Dore's Old Bibles, 1888,
pp. 203, 204).]

Dieppe on the 10th of April 1559, and on the 22nd sent from the same
town a duplicate of that letter with a postscript added (Laing's Knox,
ii. 15-22, vi. 15-21).]
