    • R. Bowes (Catalogue of Cambridge books, p. 87) records two varieties of this edition: in A the device on the title is a tree, with the motto pressa emergo; in B the device is a bell, with the letters M and A interlaced. After the printer's name are added the words Prostat autem venale apud Joannem Martin et Jacobum Allestrye, sub signo Campanae in Coemeterio D. Pauli. This copy resembles B, but is without the device.
