Probably a piracy

In this edition, "London" in the imprint is followed by a full stop; p. 1 is not numbered; p. 1, line 15, has "... twelve, get ...", line 18 reads "puiet" for "quiet"; the last line on p. 1 ends "Barnardo"

Quire A is in the same setting as N47406. Other quires or formes may be mixed with that edition, and portions of at least quires B, F, and H may show yet a third setting, which is unrelated to T52530

Uncontrolled note
This is possibly Ford no. 40, but it may be a resetting of an issue of which Ford says: "teems with printers' errors" (see N47455), and hence not in Ford
