Licensed on 23 April 1686, but printed after 2 July 1686 since Susannah Percival appears under her married name (Mountfort) in the cast list, the play was probably held at the press to let some of the fuss die down. It was advertised in the 28 February 1687 Term Catalogue. See The Term Catalogues, ed. Arber, Edward, 3 vols. (London: Edward Arber, 1905), II, 187–188Google Scholar.
