ESTC staff note
The Huntington library copy (copy catalouged) has 4 plates: a portrait of Quarles by William Marshall (cut out and mounted), the frontispiece of Charles in his "kingly bed of miserie", Charles on the scaffold at the Banqueting House with his executioner, and one of the many portraits of Charles holding his hat in his hands with a skull on a table to his left (different size from surrounding pages; appears to have been inserted from another copy or another work and is not counted in above pagination statement). The portrait of Quarles and the portrait of Charles holding his hat in his hands appear to belong to another edition.
