There are 21 portraits printed as part of the signatures. None of these portraits are assigned page numbers, making pagination irregular. The [4] pages following p. 32 are: blank; port.; p. 33; blank. The [5] pages following p. 62 are: port.; p. 163 (erroneous number); p. 64; blank; port.

The last page is misnumbered 128.
Uncontrolled note
Verify contents of p.l. Is frontis. port. actually part of quire A or should it be counted as a plate? The leaf following the t.p. is signed A4. A5-A7 contain introductory text. IU copy has a port. of Robert Earl of Essex on B1v(?)facing a leaf mis-signed "A2" (actually B2). This leaf with Essex' port. is lacking in CSmH copy and is replaced with a non-genuine blank leaf. In the reissue (Wing R1428), the port. of Essex is present and appears to be B1. It is possible that A4 is mis-signed and that quire A is a 6-leaf quire, with author's port. as A1. Until more light i shed, author's port. has been called a plate in the above pagination statement
