Several changes
are uniform throughout the edition, and have been followed by all
later editors. The chief of these are: inough] enough; tother]
t'other; coozen] cozen; ha's] has; then] than; 'hem] 'em (except G
sometimes); injoy] enjoy. Several changes of wording occur: e. g. , 2.

1716. The edition of 1716 is a bookseller's reprint of 1692. It
follows that edition in the capitalization of nouns, the breaking up
of the lines, and usually in the punctuation. In 2. 1. 78-80 over two
lines are omitted by both editions.
Independent editing, however, is
not altogether lacking. We find occasional new elisions: e. g. , 1.
6. 121 I'have] I've; at least one change of wording: 2. 3. 25 where]
were; and one in the order of words: 4. 2. 22 not love] love not. In
4. 4. 75-76 and 76-78 it corrects two wrong assignments of speeches.
A regular change followed by all editors is wiues] wife's.
1756. The edition of Peter Whalley, 1756, purports to be 'collated
with all the former editions, and corrected', but according to
modern standards it cannot be called a critical text.
