It remains to consider the relationship between Stowe's edition and Speght's (1598), the only other black letter edition. It seems clear that Speght took his text directly from Stowe. His text contains all the unique variants of Stowe with the following exceptions:
- 8. S1 this: S2 these
- 39. S1 worldy: S2 worldly
- 151. S1 her: S2 hert
There are however three unique readings in Speght:
- 5. S1 moral: S2 mortal
- 26. S1 so: S2 do
- 143. S1 hight: S2 high
