- Chetwood transcribes (with misplaced phrases) the 1631 title-page of Fair Em. He cites the undated first quarto, but claims to edit the play from a 1619 quarto that contains act divisions and other emendations not present in the other two quartos. A 1619 quarto is not listed in the STC, and likely is an invention of Chetwood's to provide authority to his editorial changes.
