Cover title.

This is apparenly an unreported edition which matches neither Wing W1882 nor Wing W1883. Although the imprint matches W1883, the title has "for true love" and not "of true love" as specified for W1883. The copy catalogued here may be another issue of Wing W1883, or perhaps Wing is in error in specifying "of true love". Wing W1882 is in a different setting from this work.

Identified as Wing W1883 on UMI microfilm set "Early English books, 1641-1700".
