[358] The urns thou see'st around breathe the fragrance of their flowers to Christ. Pluck them not, with hand unhallowed, whosoe'er thou be.

[Transcribers' Notes]

Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in this book; otherwise they were not changed.

Simple typographical errors were corrected; occasional unbalanced quotation marks retained.

Ambiguous hyphens at the ends of lines were retained.

Index not checked for proper alphabetization or correct page references.

The abbreviation "S. J." has been regularized here to always include a space, as that seems to be how it mostly was printed.

Page [117]: "et eximium facinus" was printed that way.

Page [171]: "mathematicans" was printed that way.

Footnote [180] (referenced on page [172]): "Mathematiques" was printed that way.

Page [204]: "Repetitonibus" was printed that way.

Page [205]: Footnote anchor [248] (originally 3) was missing from several editions of this book and has been added at a likely position by the Transcriber.
