STC 5753, 5754 and 5755 evidently represent an "edition" with several quires wholly or partly in two settings or reimposed, complicated by a title page variant. Beware of sheets occurring in various combinations. CSmH and Cambridge copies of 5755 have the following characteristics: B1r, line 3 of text ends "have" D2v, line 5 begins "people." (D inner forme appears unaltered from CSmH copy of 5754); E3v, line 4 begins with a regular italic G; H1r, line 8 ends "the". Signatures from DFo.
