Comments about this copy
The copy reproduced here is not a British Library copy, but rather one in the Huntington. It also appears at reel position 1034:13. That this copy is the Huntington copy can be verified by viewing the reproduction in the Huntington Digital Library (http://hdl.huntington.org/cdm/singleitem/collection/p15150coll3/id/5838/rec/2); the ms. "47" at upper left and "8" at center above the title appear in both.
The limited transcriptions in the work details for this copy (comma after "tune of" in the title; misprint "Prirted" in the imprint) also do not correspond to the reproduction; rather, these are found in the BL copy reproduced at reel position Tract supplement A4:2.
