General note"When Pecke read Cottrell's verses, .. which ask the charity of the peruser for the errors in printing and claim the authorship of some of the contents, he was apparently sufficiently concerned to insist that Basset allow him to add a reply which in a few copies is found inserted in an unsigned leaf at the end"--Pforzheimer catalogue.
