In Book 1, The first illustration is labelled “Illvstratio”, subsequent ones are labelled “Illvstr.”

Embleme 21. “And by our Death, our Life is new-begnnne”, should probably read “new-begunne.”

Embleme 27. “Some, I have knowne, by Harlots Wiles undone”, the italic “n” seems out of place.

Embleme 30. “And shine like purest Gold, and Pretious-Stones”, Pretious and Precious are both found in the text.

Embleme 45. “Made entrance to it owne Destruction, hath”, it could be its.

The First Lotterie, No. 19. “Of much more Warinesse, then Speed”, “more then” is used throughout the text.
