There is also a 1729 edition with the same illustrations online at the Internet Archive. Most interesting of all: I found a publication by the Halford Sauce Company from 1895 which contains 27 of the woodcuts with English fables, and advertisements for Halford Sauce! You can find that book at Hathi Trust.

Here's a random fable from the book:

Laurentius's Phaedrus (1667)

Phaedri Fabularum libri quinque: The Five Books of the Fables of Phaedrus, edited by Johannes Laurentius with engravings by Christopher Hagens, published in 1667.

online source: Internet Archive

This book is in Latin, so for the text I have used Christopher Smart's verse translation of Phaedrus, which you can find at Project Gutenberg. Smart omits some fables that he found to be too crude, including the woman in childbirth, the ass insulting the boar, the ominous sheep (one of my personal favorites), and the dog ambassadors to Jupiter (another personal favorite). I will find other translations to use for those.
