In all known copies of this work the pagination begins with p. 23, signature d.  It is generally believed that the book originally began with "A treatise on religion," said to have been suppressed by order of Archbishop Laud.  Grosart thinks the missing pages were prefatory matter containing a life of the author, "with fuller details of his murder than his friends cared to let the world read," as stated in Biographia Britannica.
