London: ?1557.] 4to (182 x 134mm.) Extra-illustrated with two near contemporary woodcuts of fools or jesters. (Lacking title-page, replaced in manuscript with a woodcut surround supplied from a contemporary book, lacking colophon leaf, occasional soiling or browning.) Old calf (worn, covers detached, front-free endpaper now loosely inserted). Note: as this work lacks the title-page the catchword 'him' on B1 has indicated that this is the second edition, despite the manuscript title stating 'By Thomas Berthelet 1549'.
