There were three variant of the first edition, as described by Sabin: in the first, pages 20-21 were misnumbered 12-13 and line four of page 23 was wrongly punctuated to read "enmity and warre; with the natives from"; in the second issue pages 20-21 were numbered correctly and line four of page was correctly punctuated to read "enmity and warre with the natives from"; in the third issue, pages 20-21 were numbered correctly and line four of page 23 read correctly as "enmity and warre with the natives. From"
