Published in 7 pts. and a Prologue, dated 1705-1712, with continuously paged introductions before each part, and with directions to the binder in the Prologue. It is unclear from these directions whether the t.p. of the Prologue is to be retained or canceled. The collations given here follow these directions, retaining the t.p. of the Prologue, but giving, however, only the final page in each sequence.

Each pt. has special t.p.; imprint varies, including in different combinations Thomas Bennet, Edward Evets, Ralph Smith, John Knapton, Elizabeth Bennet, T. Child, W. Carter and T. Baker.

Pts. 1-2 have running title: The Blow follow'd, and the Quakers put to flight.
