Another issue, with title page in another setting, has "printed by John Leake, for the author" and lacks the name of the bookseller Nathanael Ranew in imprint (Wing W305A). The title of that issue is in a slightly different order and there are 4 additional lines not found in the issue here being catalogued. In that issue, probably earlier, p. 213 (O3r) is misnumbered "229"

Leaf A1 is cancelled in both issues. A2 incorrectly signed 'B2', A3 and A4 signed correctly

Includes an appendix with 2 caption titles: "An appendix: containing some few of the directions she wrote for her childrens instruction" (p. 213) and "Marks of a regenerate estate" (p. 229)

A variant issue has A2 signed correctly.
