Note

First two words of title in Greek characters.

Printers names from Madan; place of publication from Wing; year of publication in imprint according to Lady Day dating.

Authorship of the Eik?on basilik?e was originally attributed to Charles I, but according to Madan (pp. 125-33) it was written by John Gauden who probably included some authentic writings of the king.

Title page differs from that of Madan no. 11 by having broken rules below title, between epigraphs, and above imprint; "solitudes" and sufferings" are printed with swash "u"s; chapter 1 heading begins with "Upon" rather than "Vpon", the "U" being swash; p. 64 includes the typo: "oppressive faces" for "oppressive fears"; G2r has catchword "Militia,".

Uncontrolled note

Apparently a variant of Madan 11 with a title page similar to Madan 12, lacking the large space between "solitudes" and "and"
