Contents
f. 1 Title page: 'Sancti Iohannis Apostoli Vindiciæ contra Novatores et Falsarios.'
Subsidiary title page: 'Corruptelæ Duorum Celebrium in Sacris Literis Locorum Historica Narratio. Sive Dissertatio Critica et Historica de Ceberrimis [sic] duobus N T. Locis a priscis tam Græci quam Latini Nominis Scriptoribus attentatis olim, et corruptis. Vizt 1. Ep. Ioh. 5 etc., 1. Ep. Tim 3.16. In Epistola ad virum Nobilissimum Eruditissimumque perscripta.'
The text in fact deals only with 1 John 5:7. A note on this verse, in an unidentified hand (wrongly described as Newton's in the Sotheby catalogue), is loosely inserted after f. 1.
Notes
In the hand of Hopton Haynes, Newton's protégé at the Mint.
