'Six lessons to the professors of the mathematiques' is a reply to 'Elenchus geometri¾ Hobbian¾' by John Wallis and 'In Thom¾ Hobbii philosophiam exercitatio epistolica' by Seth Ward.

Although the two parts are listed separately in Wing, there is no evidence to suggest that they were issued separately.
