[London] : [R. Jugge and John Cawood], Anno M.D.LIX. Mense Octobris. [1559]

2 sheets (versos blank) ; (full-sheet).

Against excess in apparel.

Title from caption title and first lines of text.

Place of publication and printer's names from STC.

Caption title on sheet 2: The briefe content of certayne Actes of Parliament, agaynst thinordinate vse of apparell.

In this setting, first line of text of sheet one ends "exam-", last line beside initial begins "beare", and last full line of text ends "hygh-"; first line of text in the right column of sheet two ends "degrees," last full line of text in the right column ends "to" and printer's names are not present.

DFONOTE SMT since the single sheet in id s3113 has the same fingerprint as that for sheet 2 above, could we add that another edition of sheet 2 has in title: '...actes [lower case 'a'] of Parliament [no comma]?; you should have pix of DFo copy from report of this, but it looks to me as if sheet 1 could fit Steele I 519 (although it differs from id s3747 by having 'according' in title - both have the same historiate initial letter) and sheet 2 could be Steele I 518. This does not appear to be Steele I 517; perhaps it is best not to supply a Steele number (printed STc does not)
Verify Steele AG.
