Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America 85, no. 2 (1991): 175-179. Arbour corrects Holmes's mistaken assertion that the date '1649' in the title is a misprint for 1648.
Two states of the title page noted. In the first state, the imprint begins "Printed at Cambridge by S G in New England ..."
