Transcriber's Note:
- Minor punctuation errors have been corrected without note.
- Punctuation and spelling were made consistent when a predominant form was found in this book; otherwise they were not changed.
- Ambiguous hyphens at the ends of lines were retained.
- Footnotes were moved to the end of the book and numbered in one continuous sequence.
- Other correction:
- p. 20: 1776 changed to 1676. (... and sailed about the middle of February 1676.)
