Imperfect: 2 fold. plates wanting.

In this copy a gathering of 2 leaves is inserted between G3 & G4; the 1st of these contains Lucar's arms on recto & errata list on verso (the copies described by Cockle, no.38, appear to have this leaf bound at end); the 2d seems to have been intended as a cancel for G5; original G5 is the t.-p. to "A treatise named Lvcar appendix", with printer's mark (McK.236) on recto & an unidentified coat of arms on verso, with motto "Amore et virtute"; the cancel G5 has the same title, but has the cut that occurs on N2v rather than the printer's mark, and has the Dudley arms on verso.
