Note

Attributed on p. 3 to the "late Mr. W-n", which is intended to imply the pamphlet was written by Thomas Winnington, although this was denied by his executors (DNB, xxi, p. 669).

Also sometimes attributed in the two Lampeter copies to one "Lynch (an Irish papist)" or to Edward Weston.

The text is continuous.
