From the Publisher

Most notably this volume includes:

The original 1656 text of "A Divine Looking-Glass", making the full original text available for the first time since 1760.

A copy of the letter issued to the Church by the Frost's in 1853, pleading that Muggleton's 1661 revision of "A Divine Looking-Glass" be the only acceptable text. This letter has never before been published.

Six full volumes of Reeve's works presented in chapter and verse, as they were republished by the Frost's in the nineteenth century, together with Reeve's letters extracted from a further three volumes.
