- On t.p. 'Dedicated to the Reverend Mr. William Bisset Author of the Reformation Sermons; Intitled, Plain English, and More Plain English.'
- This pamphlet takes the form of an amusing and scurrilous character book satirising the proposals Bisset made in his sermon 'Plain English'.
- The edition may be false: William Bisset published 'Plain English', a sermon for the reformation of manners, and 'More Plain English' in 1704. Sharpe published two different pamphlets 'Plain English Made Plainer', and this could be another of his works.
