Title in Baker’s hand.

The Bible abridged – by the author of the Office of a Justice of the Peace.  Michael

Dalton.

Donum amicissimi viri J. Perkins S. T. B.

The volume is written from both ends.  Besides the Bible abridged it contains preparations for a glossary of Law Terms and notes on British history, and also, at p. 118:

Greivances deliuered in Parliament 1641 by J. P. Esq.

The hand of the legal matter is not that of the Biblical.  One of the two may be Perkins’s.
