| Item Description: | Based on the draft prepared by Richard Mather. The preface is by John Cotton. See Holmes. See also: Arbour, Keith. "The Title-Page of 'A Platform of Church Discipline' (Cambridge, 1649) and the Date of Its Printing." Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America 85, number 2 (1991): 175-179. Arbour corrects Holmes's mistaken assertion that the date '1649' in the title is a misprint for 1648. Two states of the title page noted. In the first state, the imprint begins "Printed at Cambridge by S G in New England ..." In the second, the imprint begins "Printed by S G at Cambridge in New England ..." For further differences, see: Sternberg, P.R., and J.M. Brayer. "Composite imaging: a new technique in bibliographic research." PBSA 77, number 4 (1983): 431-445. Errata note, page [31].
