CHARLES WHITTINGHAM (1767-1840), English printer, was born on the 16th of June 1767, at Caludon or Calledon, Warwickshire, the son of a farmer, and -Was apprenticed to a Coventry printer and bookseller.
Whittingham inaugurated the idea of printing cheap, handy editions of standard authors, and, on the bookselling trade threatening not to sell his productions, took a room at a coffee house and sold them by auction himself.
His nephew, Charles Whittingham (1795-1876), who from 1824 to 1828 had been in partnership with his uncle, in 1838 assumed control of the business.

 William Whittingham - LoveToKnow 1911
In 1554 he was a leading member of the band of English Protestant exiles who were assembled at Frankfort-on-the-Main, and in the controversies which took place between them concerning the form of service to be adopted, Whittingham strongly supported the Calvinistic views propounded by John Knox.
These opinions, however, did not prevail, and soon the Scottish reformer and his follower were found at Geneva; in 1559 Whittingham succeeded Knox as minister of the English congregation in that city, and here he did his most noteworthy work, that of making an English translation of the Bible.
Having returned to England in 1560, Whittingham went to France in the train of Francis Russell, 2nd earl of Bedford, and a little later he acted as minister of the English garrison at Havre, being in this place during its siege by the French in 1562.

It was Whittingham who reintroduced the use of Caslon Old Face to English printing, and working with publisher William Pickering (1796-1854) he set a standard for bookmaking that few of his contemporaries could achieve.
As Whittingham’s children grew older and played a lesser role in the printing enterprise, they decided to find a home for the library of early printed books that their father, the Nephew, had accumulated during his successful decades at the Chiswick Press.
The bookplate may well have been designed and executed long before the presentation of the books, and it is possible that the design was cut into the block by Mary Byfield, who cut nearly all of the designs and initials used by the press until her death at age eighty-one in 1876.

I do agree that William Shakespeare (a.k.a., Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford) was most likely a (non-practicing) medieval pagan catholic by the time of his death.
William was an active promoter of the pedo-sodomite King James I. In 1603, Shakespeare's theatrical company was taken under the patronage of King James I, and became known as the King's Company Theatre.
Without comparing the individual words and phrases I would guess that most of his biblical passages and quotes were taken from the Bishops Bible, with some passages from the Coverdale and Great Bible.
