TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE
The main text of this book is a facsimile reproduction of printed documents from around 1630, and include many printing errors from those original documents. Spelling and punctuation are very inconsistent. These issues have been left unchanged in this etext to maintain the authenticity of the original works.
The character ſ (long-form s) has been replaced by the modern s.
The anchors for the eight footnotes are denoted by [number]; these Notes have not been moved and can be found before the Index near the end of the book. There is also one other footnote in the book with the anchor [A] on [page 53]; this footnote has been moved and placed after the eight numbered Notes.
Some characters and groups of characters have an overline, similar to a macron. These will display on this device as
m n o u (m n o and u with overline)
co os oe mo (co os oe and mo with overline)
con (con with overline)
Some minor text changes to the Introduction and the Index are noted at the [end of the book]. These are indicated by a dashed blue underline.
