I am using a transcribed will, of Thomas Tobie of Newcastell, barber
surgeon, dated Nov.7 1585. It includes the passage:
I give my son George Tobie to my frend Rauffe Tate, with the book of
Marters, the Erball, the Bible, Johannis de Vigo, Bullins booke, with a
metall pott and a bason.
Can anyone suggest any likely further details of the books, including what
edition of the bible, if that can be surmised?
With thanks for your help,
