"The true 1613 folio edition of King James' Bible [is] easily distinguishable from the other large folio editions by its smaller type. [...] The preliminary leaves are set up as in the other large folio editions, but the text is printed in smaller type with 72 instead of 59 lines to the full column." (Herbert; Darlow & Moule). This copy is printed in 72 lines and in it Ruth 3:15 reads: "and she went into the citie."
