Greetings Peter.

A.V. Bible Preface
A REPRINT OF THE ORIGINAL PREFACE TO THE KING JAMES (AUTHORIZED) VERSION 1611
I see that they used "his majesty" making the example somewhat moot, even putting aside the plural of majesty discussion that followed. Is there another letter other than the Preface ?
Shalom,
Steven
