8. Authorised version, 1611:

"That bringeth forth _his_ fruit in _his_ season."

"Thou preparedst roome before it, and didst cause it to take deepe

roote, and it filled the land."

It will thus be perceived that "its" is wanting in all the above passages,

and that "his," "her," and "thereof" invariably supply its place. I have

been equally unsuccessful in detecting the word in the Common Prayer-Book

version of the Psalms, which is well known to be that of the "Great Bible,"

or Cranmer's edition of 1539, and which has remained in use without

alteration ever since. May I therefore ask B. H. C. to be so good as to

point out the particular "Old version of the Psalms" from which he has

derived his quotation?
