Collation: [Maltese cross]⁴A-3H⁴, paged. Wanting V 4, supplied in MS. The epistle dedicatory to Henrietta Maria is signed M. C. M. E. (i.e. Magister Cresacre More Eboracensis?). The initials on the titlepage refer to 'Mr. Thomas More', the great-grandson of Sir Thomas, but it is more probably the work of his younger brother Cresacre. The book was probably printed at Louvain in 1631. On the titlepage some biographical details concerning Thomas More are entered in an old hand.
