The general arrangement is the same as that of the first printed edition of 1681 (except that Titles 18 and 19 appear in reverse order) but the text is rather shorter, many of the decisions quoted are earlier, and the titles are divided into fewer paragraphs. It is followed by an index of subjects discussed (page 409), and a contents list of each Title (page 413), both written apparently in different hands, neither being that of the text. The volume lacks apparently one leaf at the end.

The general arrangement is the same as that of the first printed edition of 1681, except that the contents list of Title 9 (followed by a blank leaf) has been written into the text of Title 7, doubtless due to a miscalculation by the copyist; the contents list of Title 30 has been written in on the leaf following the end of the work, and Titles 18 and 19 appear in reverse order; also, the text is rather shorter, and the titles, most of which are divided into fewer paragraphs, are illustrated...
