The pre-KJV translation used for the Bible bits in the Book of Common Prayser. That is also why the KJV says "which art", while the earlier Rheims-Douay (Catholic) translation uses the more modern "who art"; the KJV is not a fresh translation but a revision of earlier translations with reference to the original. -- BALIN FUNDINUL UZBAD KHAZADDUMU jcowan@reutershealth.com BALIN SON OF FUNDIN LORD OF KHAZAD-DUM http://www.ccil.org/~cowan
