This edition came into competition with that issued by Browne in the previous year, and gave rise to 'sundry skirmishes and passages of arms between the two editors.' Browne's charges of plagiarism appear unfounded. Hawkins reproduced the two parts of the 1676 edition ignoring most of Moses Browne's changes, he disagreed with Brownes editing.
