Notes:

As stated in the preliminary "advertisement", not a translation of Comenius's 'Regulae vitae', but rather, Edward Synge's intention was to "to take the purport and design of my author's rules, and to express them in words of my own (sometimes contracting, enlarging or adding to them) rather than make an exact translation of them".

With an initial leaf containing an 'Advertisement', and two final leaves of advertisements.
