    When looking at the scripture references given on the 1611 KJV, some of them include "&c"

    What does that mean?

    Hello Mike. What you see there (&c), is an abbreviation for what we wish to write as, 'and other things', or, 'and so forth'. More commonly, we would abbreviate these with the Latin, 'et cetera', or 'etc', when we want to emphasize one or more references, but not wanting to quote all the references that refer to the subject. So, '&c' would be the same as writing, 'etc'.
