Signatures: A-B⁴ (final leaf blank). Woodcut head-piece; decorative initial. This pamphlet exists in two states. Imprint in both states is the same except in state 1 "Imprimée" is capitalized, in state 2 it is not. Layout of the text is similar, but the states do differ (e.g. on page 9, last paragraph, state 1 has "Prouençal", state 2 has "Prouencal" without the cedilla. Beginning with page 5 the pages begin and end with the same words, but the first two pages of text (page 3-4) have different layout. In state 1 the line "ceux de la possession sans contenteme[n] is the last line of page 3; in state 2 it is the first line of page 4. Type ornaments and initial on page 3 also differ between the states.
