stationer_additional_notes: This was probably a pirated edition issued by Francis Kirkman and printed by Thomas Johnson, though Greg calls the evidence "ambiguous" (<i>Bibliography</i>, 2:513); see Johan Gerritsen, "The Dramatic Piracies of 1661," <i>Studies in Bibliography</i> 11 (1958): 117-31. We have retained it in DEEP because it may have appeared prior to the end of 1660. There is also an undated edition of this play (Greg 363h), which was printed after 1660 and therefore is not included in DEEP.
