Gathered in 8s; horizontal chain lines.

A reissue, with A1,2 cancelled and replaced with a new title page dated 1642. The original issue must have been printed ca. 1640 to allow for internal title pages dated 1639 and 1640. However, a 1640 edition is not reported in STC, and the earliest edition reported in Wing is the one being catalogued here.
