Clark Library copy has the two title pages as originally printed; in other copies the first t.p. has been cancelled and replaced by the second. (Wing L969). cf. Brit. Lib. cat.

The attribution to Parsons is erroneous. "Leicester's ghost", now ascribed to Thomas Rogers by Wing (2d ed) and Brit. Lib., has also been erroneously attributed to William Cecil, Lord Burghley.
