1657 HOLY BIBLE. Rare Bible Belonging to John Quick, Puritan Minister Ejected in 1662. Superb!

A superb, historic puritan preaching Bible, perhaps the one used by Quick to preach while imprisoned for preaching the Gospel. He was a prominent puritan, twice imprisoned, ejected in 1662, and close friends with Increase and Cotton Mather, etc.  The Holy Bible, Containing the Old Testament and the New. Newly Translated Out of the Original Tongues. And with the Former Translations Diligently Compared and Revised. Cambridge. Printed by John Field. Printer to ye Universities. 1657.  Original tooled calf with hinges overlaid, very attractive. Probably 18th century endpapers. There is a note in the rear that says it was repaired by Quick's grandson, Rev. John Evans [son of his daughter and son-in-law, also Rev. John Evans].  Title relaid withsome losses, red-ruled throughout, stain through Genesis 28, a few corners loss in NT, some affecting text, some curiously repaired and text replaced with superbly executed MSs. This is likely the "curious repair" referred to in the catalogue note in t
