Thomas Dicey book, dated 1704

I own a book with label "Thomas Dicey 1704" on the cover.
It is a copy of The Book of Common Prayer, printed in London in 1702.
See title page with hand coloured picture of Queen Anne. The book has a further 47 hand coloured engravings.

The book has a label "Done by J. Cluer, 1701".
This would be the printer John Cluer, who married in 1701 to Elizabeth Dicey.

The book is presented to "Thomas Dicey" by "a friend" on 1 Jan 1704 (new style year).
This would be John Cluer's father-in-law Thomas Dicey (died 1705).

I bought this book in 2026 from Chilton Books, Suffolk.
