17th century translator of the Psalms.- Woodford [Woodforde] (Samuel, poet, translator and divine, Rector of Shalden and Hartley Mauditt, Hampshire, 1636-1700) [Notes for "A paraphrase upon the Psalms of David, and the canticles, with select hymns..."], autograph manuscript notes, c. 84pp. of marginal notes (5pp. and a few other notes in another hand including an extract from Expositio Patrum Graecorum in Psalmos, by Balthasar Corderius, Antwerp, Plantin 1643), 170pp. of printed Psalms, 24pp. with autograph marginal notes, all printed pp. with ink autograph marks and underlinings for publication, most printed pages stuck together with cut out Psalms from a printed Bible and tipped-in, more Psalms cut out from a printed Bible loosely inserted, all but the first page in Latin, Hebrew and Greek, watermarked "RH", some water-staining throughout, 1 leaf with tear, edges chipped and affecting a few words on some pp., stitched in 18th century wrappers, modern paper parcel wrappered dust-jacket, folio, 1689. ⁂ In 1667 Woodford published his Paraphrase upon the Psalms of David, dedicated to George Morley bishop of Winchester. It was inspired by the version of Psalm 114 by Abraham Cowley, of whom Woodford was a great admirer. Subsequently there were several editions of this work and the above seems to have been preparation for a revised edition. "May 28. 1689. I veryly believe the Collation of severall versions out of the Hebre[w]... the Compilers of Our Church Psalter, when they wrote it, had fuller... exemplars before them amongst others, the ?Great Vulgar Latin in all... Editions... the Hebrew text above all other versions, Sebastian Masters... translations out of the Hebrew, all in Our Liturgic Psalter when it leaves ye Vulgar & Greeke, almost always verbatim... as I have done especialy guided this my present version. I was come to the 18 Psalm before I made this observation... I wrote it Lent May 30. 89. I lack to compleat this English Psalter Ps: 10. 15.16 (18 to ye 40th N) 29 to ye 9 N. 44 to ye 24 N. 66. 76.
