Bishops' Bible
|
 |
The Church of England, with the Queen as its Supreme
Governor, functioned as an arm of the state. Here, on the
frontispiece of the Bishops' Bible of 1568, Queen
Elizabeth, surrounded by the allegorical personifications
of Justice, Mercy, Fortitude, and Prudence, presides over
and defends the word of God and godly preaching.
