This addition has its own title page placed after the general title. At the end of volume III several texts: The form of ecclesiastical prayers; Of baptism of the Lord's Supper Of the articles of faith; Of the ten commandments; Of the sacraments; Confession of faith. All these additions are present to characterize Protestant liturgy and its difference being both the orthodox Bible of Protestantism and a manual of faith.

71935Amsterdam. J. Gole 1686. Very large broadside 69.0 x 100.0 cm consisting of two vertically combined sheets. Large very detailed engraving. Printed surface 65.0 x 93.0 cm. = Finely engraved and unusually accurate and detailed view of De Dam the Dam square in the heart of Amsterdam by the French-born Dutch architect designer and engraver Daniel de Marot 1661-1752. It depicts festivities related to a yearly fair centred on a parade by the city's civil guard. The names of the company captains are engraved in the inner side of a probably imaginary frieze or balcony on a building on the south side of the square east of Kalverstraat from where Marot must have witnessed the event. The title translates as "Amsterdams Fair showing the Civic Guard presenting to the great honourable Lord and Mayors". Quite probably the publisher J. Gole was related to Marot as the latter was a nephew of the Dutch later French cabinet maker Pierre Gole ca. 1620-1684. A few skilful repairs. An extraordinary clean complete copy with the two parts very well joined together. Hollstein 5; F.M. Supplement 2683A. unknown
