Vertical half-title: p. [417] (i.e. [399]).

Another edition (Fulton 51) is distinguished from this by "naturall" on the t.-p.

"It has been pointed out by Mr. G.L. Keynes that the fact that issue B usually occurs bound with tom. II is evidence of its later appearance. From this, and from the fact that the type is reset and that there is a similarity between the paper used for it and for tom. II, there seems little doubt that issue B was reprinted from issue A in 1671 and published (making with tom. II a complete work) in that year."--Fulton.

Error in binding: 416 (i.e. 398) p., 9 ℓ. misbound following "The second tome".

With this is bound "The second tome", 1671.
