The imprint is false; the volume was actually printed in 1619 by William Jaggard and apparently intended to form part of Thomas Pavier's Shakespeare collection of that year. Pavier may have worked out some financial arrangement with Nathaniel Butter, who owned the copy, since his name appears in the imprint.
