In 1659 John Pearson published in London his celebrated Exposition of the Creed, dedicated to his parishioners of St Clement's, Eastcheap, to whom the substance of the work had been preached several years before. The book reviews the Apostles Creed and has notes in Latin, Greek and Hebrew.

The title page is stamped "Library of Dr. Bray's Associates".
According to various sources, Dr. Thomas Bray (1656-1730) was an English reverend who created a system of parochial libraries in many of the thirteen American colonies. He was educated at All Souls' College of Oxford, where he received his bachelor's degree in 1678; he later received a doctorate in divinity at Oxford. Bray was ordained to the Church of England and later chosen to travel to the Province of Maryland to serve as Commissary (representative of the Church). He devoted himself to establishing parochial libraries in the colonies.

The bookplate on the inside of the cover indicates that the book was given to the clerical lending library of Liverpool, Nova Scotia in 1853 by the Associates of the Late Rev. Dr. Bray. How it came into the collection of St. Peter's Cathedral Church is unknown.

This publication is inscribed "to Margaret Killen [?]".

The bible is inscribed "to Henrietta Harris from Brother Henry Harris, 1839."

The "self-interpreting" bible, with notes by Rev. John Brown, D.D., is also referred to within St. Peter's Cathedral Church as "the Wadman Bible." Inside the pages of the book are an envelope addressed to T. Edgar McNutt from William H. H. Wadman, postmarked 22 August 1963, enclosing a letter asking that the bible be put into safekeeping at St. Peter's Cathedral. William Wadman notes that the bible contains a family record of the family of Henry D. Wadman. The genealogical information itself is listed on pages between the Old and New Testaments.

This bible was used by the congregation at St. Mark's Anglican Church, Rustico, Prince Edward Island. The leather cover is embossed with a wreath which says "British and Foreign Bible Society"
