Copy-specific note

Bound in a volume of late 16th- and 17th-century pamphlets. A list of contents in a late 17th-century hand is written on the first free upper endleaf, headed "3d quarto Parket", and with binding instructions/description at the end: "well x beaten in sheeps leather upon bords". A second manuscript list of contents is on the second free upper endleaf. A list of authors of the pamphlets is written on the third upper free endleaf, possibly in the hand of Christopher Wordsworth.

Copy-specific note

A typed note about item (i) in this volume, God's promise to his plantation, has been tipped in to the fourth free upper endleaf. A manuscript addition in ink states that the note is by Frances Rose-Troup.
