In Doc/library/urllib.request.rst, in the documentation for the class `Request`, it says

```
   The final two arguments are only of interest for correct handling
   of third-party HTTP cookies:
```

However, three arguments follow, not two, and the last is not necessarily related to third-party cookie handling.

I believe replacing "final" with "next" will correct the sentence:

```
   The next two arguments are only of interest for correct handling
   of third-party HTTP cookies:
```

Verified present in the source releases for CPython 3.5.7, 3.6.8, 3.7.3, 3.8.0b1. It is _not_ present in 2.7.16 (as the third parameter didn't yet exist, so the existing phrasing is correct.)
