"A collection of some principall rules and maximes of the common lawes of England" and "The use of the law" each has separate dated title page, register and pagination.

"The use of the law" is probably not in fact by Bacon; it was first printed anonymously as part 2 of "The lawyers light" by Sir John Doddridge.
