Annotation on Thomason copy E.1272[1]: "may 15"; on E.1481[2]: "May. 2.", and the 2 in the imprint date has been altered in MS. to "3".
Wing entry L998, for an 1653 ed., is apparently based on Thomason E.1481[2] and its MS. alteration.
Thomason copy at E.1272[1] includes, between quires A and B, a section with caption title that begins "Long preambles to short discourses...", a second caption that reads "The episcopall party determine thus." and text that begins "That by the ordinance of God nationall government ought to be successively monarchicall, ...". It is signed A-C⁸ (-A1, C8), and paginated 43, [1] p. It does not appear to be part of this work.
