Valentinian, or, Lucina's rape [manuscript], ca. 1679.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/501174884

Differs from the play as printed, particularly in arrangement of the scenes in Acts II and III, and in omitting the songs. Folger MS and British Library Add. MS 28692 apparently are earlier versions of the play than that printed 1685. Cast list is given, but there is no record of such a production, which must have been before July 1679; see Montague Summers, Playhouse of Pepys, p. 291. Also, at end, a scene of Sir Robert Howard's play, The conquest of China, by Rochester (contemplated in 1672). This has been printed in 1926, edited by John Hayward. Rochester's Valentinian is based on Fletcher's play of the same name.
