On page 55 in some copies of the text, a portion of the Latin version is cancelled, revised text pasted over original: revision: 18. M. Valde celebris est Ant. Salue Regina, quae frequenter in Ecclesijs decantatur. Dic modo, quibus signis ostendit caelorum Imperatrix sibi acceptam esse deuotissimam hanc salutionem & orationem. D. Refertur in historia S.

Some copies of the text have a composite woodcut of stations of the cross: Simon of Cyrene carrying the cross; Jesus discovering sleeping disciples in the Garden of Gethsemane; soldier piercing Jesus' side during Crucifixion; Jesus stumbling under the weight of the cross. A floral border surrounds the woodcut, and a floral border is between the two rows of woodcuts with IHS in the center. Woodcut is on the verso of a leaf which has Approbationes for the Latino-Hibernica Catechismus, but they are dated 1638 rather than 1639. This leaf can be found after the text in the EEBO copy of the Bodleian copy.
