Note
With an additional title page (A1v), engraved, "A true and full coppy of yt which was most imperfectly and surreptitiously printed before under the name of Religio medici: the 5 edition printed for Andrew Crook: 1660". Keynes says that in some copies the engraved title page dated "1656" was used in place of the newly engraved "1660" one.
Note
"Annotations upon Religio medici" by Thomas Keck, has separate dated title page; pagination and register are continuous. "Observations upon Religio medici" by Sir Kenelm Digby has separate dated title page, pagination, and register, with "the third edition .. printed by A.M. for L.C." on title page. It is identified by Wing as D1444, but according to Keynes this edition was never published separately.

Title-page printed within decorative border.
