"The Great Bible of 1539 showed the same two words ["shake" and "spear"] in the same positions [46th word from the beginning and end, respectively, of the 46th psalm]", according to William & Elizabeth Friedman in _The Shakespearean Ciphers Examined_ (Cambridge, 1957). Note that that was before Shakespeare was even born. So did he hack the 1539 translation too? -- Bruce Tindall tindall@panix.com
