We would like to acknowledge the invaluable scholarship in this area of Dr. S. E. Sprott, whose original transcriptions of the Bridgewater and Trinity manuscripts and the 1637 print edition are available in Dr. Sprott's John Milton: "A Maske," the Earlier Versions, published by the University of Toronto Press (1973).
