Note
With an additional engraved title page (A2r). There at least two separate engravings of this title page (one a poor copy of the other): there is (1) cross-hatching above the left-hand side of the arch at the top of the engraving, or there is (2) no cross-hatching. Variant: the engraved title page is replaced by an engraved frontispiece illustration without title and imprint; it contains the same major figures, but this plate is totally different from the two above.

The last 2 leaves (N2,3) bear "Latine verses Englished by this author, as they were erected in the hangings in the vpper House of Parliament".
