= The fifth edition of the "Oud-Katholieke Bijbel." Darlow/ Moule 3344; Poortman I, p.135-136 (illustrating the title-p.): "Een bijzonder kenmerk van de Oud Katholieken is, dat ze de bijbel en vooral het Nieuwe Testament, in handen van leken willen geven. (...) De aartsbisschop van Utrecht, Johannes van Neercassel, wilde een betere bijbelvertaling van het Nieuwe Testament. Daarbij maakte hij gebruik van het Franse Testament van Mons, dat ontstaan was onder invloed van de Jansenisten, die ook graag de bijbel in handen van leken wilden geven. Deze bijbel werd door de Roomsch- Katholieke kerk verboden en toen Aegidius de Witte, priester te Mechelen in 1696 het Nieuwe Testament naar het Franse Testament vertaalde, werd hij uit zijn ambten ontzet en vluchtte naar Utrecht. Geestelijken, die in hun parochie zijn Nieuwe Testament gebruikten, werden in de gevangenis geworpen."
