Impr. 11: 1598: (eights) 16^o: pp. [112], signn. ¶⁴ A-F⁸ G⁴: sign. B 1^r beg. sus, vivus: Pica Roman. Contents:—sign. ¶1^v, title: ¶2^r-3^r Epistola dedicatoria to lord Thomas Egerton, dated “Oxon. 16. Calend. Decemb. [16 Nov.], 1598”: ¶3^v-4^v, “Ad Lectorem”: A 1^r-G 3^r, the work: G 4 I have not seen.

Very rare: the only copy at present known is in Corpus Christi Library at Oxford. Even Wood (Ath. Oxon., iii. 210) had not seen this first edition, since he implies that the date is 1600. See 1600 B, 1618 B, 1629 B.
