TRANSCRIBER’S NOTES

Page numbers are given in {curly} brackets.

Plain text version only: endnote markers and sidenotes are given in [square] brackets, with the latter prefixed with “Sidenote:”.

Minor spelling inconsistencies (e.g. blood-covenant/blood covenant, childbed/child-bed, etc.) are preserved.

Alterations to the text:

Convert footnotes to endnotes, relabel note markers (append the original note number to the page number), and add a corresponding entry to the TOC.
