The John Carter Brown Library's variant is similar to McCoy's "Variant Two" in that p. 87, line 15 reads "dans le ciel si toy mesme les auois bapti-", and p. 90, line 6 reads "Ce braue Neophye". It differs from McCoy's "Variant Two" in that p. 100, line 2 has "se rendoient escoliers", the word "se" containing an old-style "s" in addition to the one (1st "s") in "escoliers"
