end, when God speaketh unto us, to hearken; when he setteth his word
before us, to read it; when he stretcheth out his hand and calleth, to
answer, Here am I, here we are to do thy will, O God. [Sidenote: _St.
August, ad artic. sibi falso object. Art. 16._ Heb. 10. 31.] The Lord work
a care and conscience in us to know him and serve him, that we may be
acknowledged of him at the appearing of our Lord JESUS CHRIST, to whom
with the Holy Ghost be all praise and thanksgiving. Amen.

The other church dignitaries who are mentioned are:
Andrew Pearson, Canon of Canterbury.
Andrew Perne, Prebendary of Ely.
Thomas Beacon, Prebendary of Canterbury.
Gabriel Goodman, Dean of Westminster.
At the end of sixteen of the books are placed initials, which are
evidently those of the revisers. These, with more or less of certainty,
have been identified with names given in the above list.[147] They are as
follows, and in the following order:
Deuteronomy W. E. Bishop of Exeter.
2 Samuel R. M. Bishop of St. Davids.
2 Chronicles E. W. Bishop of Worcester.
Job A. P. _C_ Andrew Pearson.
Psalms[148] T. B. Thomas Beacon.
Proverbs A. P. _C_ Andrew Pearson.
Canticles A. P. _E_ Andrew Perne.
Lamentations R. W. Bishop of Winchester.
Daniel T. C.L. Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield.
Malachi E. L. Bishop of London.
Wisdom W. C. Bishop of Chichester.
2 Maccabees J. N. Bishop of Norwich.
Acts R. E. Bishop of Ely.
Romans R. E. Bishop of Ely.
1 Corinthians G. G. Gabriel Goodman.
From a list of the revisers, enclosed in a letter from Parker to Cecil,
dated October 5th, 1568, and now in the State Paper Office, we may further
gather that the Catholic Epistles and the Apocalypse were revised by
Bishop Bullingham, the Gospels of Luke and John by Bishop Scambler, and
that the portions undertaken by Parker himself were Genesis, Exodus,
Matthew, Mark, and the Epistles from 2 Corinthians to Hebrews
inclusive.[149]
