According to Greg, William Wilson printed the first, fourth, and sixth plays, Thomas Warren the others. "Although individual plays from the collection sometimes occur singly, there is no evidence that they were ever separately issued, unless it be that in Thomason's copy .. the plays do not appear in the order given in the title"--Greg
