Possibly Jonson's The Case is Altered (1609) was also printed by Okes (so W. W. Greg, A Bibliography of the English Printed Drama, i [1939], but see also B. Jonson, Works, ed. C. H. Herford and P. Simpson, iii [1927], 96).

I am indebted to the Trustees of both the Folger and Boston Public Libraries for permission to reproduce readings from the two copies, and to Mr John Alden of Boston for his assistance in procuring photographs.
