Printer's and publishers' names from Wing CD

(1) "A feast for vvorms", (2) "Pentelogia", (3) "Hadassa", (4) "Job militant", (5) "The history of Samson", (6) "Sions sonets", (7) "Sions elegies", (8) "An alphabet of elegies", (9) "An elegy upon the reverend, learned, and my honoured friend, Doctor Wilson, of the Rolls", and (10) "Mildreiados" each have individual title page dated except for (8); pagination and register are continuous. The dated title pages are all dated 1669. The imprints to (1)-(4) have "printed by E.O. for B.T. and T.S."; the imprints to (5)-(7), (9), (10) have "printed by Sarah Griffin"

The verso of leaf R6 is blank. Variant, probably earlier: R6v bears a scientific woodcut diagram which is totally unrelated to the text of the book.
Uncontrolled note
Horden says the letterpress title page is the singleton, but in copy catalogued (CSmH copy) the singleton appears to be the leaf preceding the engraved title page. What do other copies have? Wing has "Will: Thackery" in imprint in place of "Will. Thackery"
