Contents quite tight and clean with a few signatures starting. With the errata page. Wing 1596 & 1597. Wing 1597 identifies the second part as a second edition, when in fact it is a different publication with a largely similar title. Pagination of the second (1648) publication starts with page 241 and stops at page 527. Within these pages is found at 469 an additional title page also dated 1648 and titled "The Christian Sacrifice, or, the Solemne Worship in the Eucharist: Foretold by the Prophet Malachi, Taught by our blessed Savior, and Practised by the Primitive Church". The table of contents for the second volume agrees with the contents, but offers no explanation why pagination starts with page 241. Both volumes complete. See the Dictionary of National Biograpy for an extensive article on Mede (using the alternative spelling of Mead).
