Note
Wing seems to be in error in dating another edition 1685 (Wing 5825A). It appears to have been issued separately in 1678 as here, and reissued in 1685 as part of "A collection of several tracts and discourses" (Wing B5770 and B5770aA). "This collection [of 1685] appears to be a mere series of "remainders" bound together, .."--J.E.S. Clarke and H.C. Foxcroft. A life of Gilbert Burnet. Cambridge, 1907, p. 553.
