Transcriber's Notes

Variable, archaic or unusual spelling and punctuation have been retained apart from minor punctuation inconsistencies which have been silently corrected. An [Errata list] can be found at the end of the book. In the text, unresolved printer errors are indicated with black dotted underlining; hover the mouse over the underlined text to see a Transcriber's Note. Footnotes were sequentially numbered and placed at the end of each section. The page headers of the book are presented as sidenotes.

The two texts of Parson Haben's or Hyberdyne's Sermon in Praise of Thieves and Thievery are printed on opposite pages. They are shown here in parallel columns.

Text in bold sans serif lettertype is printed in blackletter (Gothic) in the original.
