Overall, the weight does favour the PCE, most especially the 1611.

The most "minority" renderings of the PCE are listed as follows. None of these "minority" PCE renderings are without attestation.

Genesis 41:56 — And Joseph
Has the agreement of many 1769-following editions: common current KJB attestation.

Exodus 23:23 — and the Hivites
1612 Quartros, 1616, 1629, etc., (not Oxfords after 1817); common historical KJB attestation.

Ezra 2:26 — Geba
Bishops' and probably all modern versions; very old and universal modernist attestation.

Song of Sol. 6:12 — Amminadib
Found in old Cambridge editions following the 1769 Edition; recent traditional attestation.

Jeremiah 32:5 — prosper?
Found in modern Oxford editions; recent traditional attestation.

Mark 2:1 — Capernaum, after
Found in old Cambridge editions following the 1769 edition; recent traditional attestation.

1 John 5:8 — spirit
Usual from 1769, Oxford turned to "Spirit" in the late 1800s; common historical attestation.

There are differing reasons for the correctness of each of the various cases listed above. However, overall, the common reason why they are all correct is because they are together in an edition which is shown to be correct at every place. Even if a very full explanation could not be made for some of the points, if the PCE is accepted as correct at every other place, must be correct at these places also.

1 John 5:8

Wycliffe — 1380 — spirit
Tyndale — 1534 — sprete
Great — 1539 — sprete
Geneva — 1557 — sprite
Geneva (another) — spirit
Rheims — 1582 — spirit
Bishops — spirite
AV — 1611, Oxford, Concord Cambridge — Spirit
AV — 1629, 1638, 1769, PCE — spirit
