NOTES
Lacking final errata leaf which Madan identifies as very rare. Text in several states, this copy with each of the King’s letters assigned a roman numeral and cypher codes in small arabic numbers appear frequently throughout (cf. p. 7 which has cypher numbers 15, 4, 3, 20). ESTC R200152; Wing C2358.
