Mat 9:1 AND he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own city. IX:1 And hee entered into a fhip, and paffed ouer, and came into his owne citie. Compare, for instance, Matthew 9:1 in the 1611 edition to the same verse in a KJV pdf which I found online that is said to be the 1611 authorised version: It is important to keep in mind that the 1611 edition is fairly hard to read, towards illegible to most readers today, in its printed or digitally transcribed format, since the text belongs to the English spelling that was used in the early 17th century, as well as the use of old letter forms, like the long s which looks like an f without the cross bar, and u's and v's that were interchangeable. Many online sources, especially Christian orientated websites, are providing a digital "Authorised Edition", mistaking it as the 1611 edition. Read the wiki for more hands-on information. A simular revision was made at Oxford in 1769, and most modern versions of the KJV are renditions of the Oxford version, most notably, because it doesn't contain the Apocrypha. The first major revision of the authorised edition was done at Cambridge University in 16. This is a "he" edition, and therefore the oldest, or first impression.
Two distinct editions exist of this period, known as the "he" and "she" versions, referring to a sentence in Ruth 3:15 (page 369 of this digital scan). They all belong to the same group of 1611 in terms of the biblical text translation. The minute but numerous differences in text, page layout, chapter capitals and annotations relate to different typesets that were performed by the same printer, Barker, and sub-leased printers, Norton, and Bill, in London during the first three years of printing. According to the experts there were indeed more than one version of the 1611 edition, that were printed between 16, all of which carried the date of 1611 on the title page.
