Résumé/commentaire:

Prima edizione del opuscolo di Stouppa del giugno 1655. Questa edizione fu incorporata nella riedizione della traduzione inglese dell' Histoire des Vaudois di Jean Paul Perrin (vedi: Matchlesse Cruelties (1655)), curata da Stouppe. Probabilmente uscì anche come edizione indipendente.

La seconda edizione apparsa indipendentemente cambia il titolo: A Collection of the Several Papers, ma non il contenuto, tranne che per l’inserimento di uno speciale „The Stationer to the Reader“ (p. [V]) (cfr. Balmas, La vera relazione, p. 159 (n. 6)).

In ogni caso l'Appendix (pp. 23-26) era mandato da Antoine Léger, come risulta dalla sua lettera (s.d., ma scritta attorno al 3/13 maggio): "One of those poor fugitivs [...] confirms whatsoever is said in the Appendix of the Apologie, which you have received heretofore; adding many cruelties [...]". Probabilmente Antoine Léger fu l'autore dell'appendice e delle tre apologie (cfr. Albert de Lange, Antoine Léger, ed. italiana, p. 225 n. 194).
