Transcriber's notes:
In the text version italics are represented with _underscore_ and small caps with ALL CAPS. Upright text in italic sections, has been marked with =equals=.
As noted at the start of the text, inconsistencies and apparent errors in the text have been left. The only changes that have been made are to unclear or missing punctuation marks (e.g. where a gap in the text is seen). In these cases, consistent punctuation has been used.
A list of inconsistencies and problems found in the text:—
Introduction
- Sheet 6 "A Writ of Prevention". STRVCTVRFS should probably read STRVCTVRES.
- Sheet 13 "To The Reader". A closing bracket should be added after "Graver"
(whether hee were the Versifier or the Graver. - Sheet 14 "To The Reader". A closing bracket should be added after Hieroglyphicks
(as in the Tetragrammaton; in the Figure of Arîon; and in the Proprieties due to some other Hieroglyphicks.

- In Book 1, The first illustration is labelled "Illvstratio", subsequent ones are labelled "Illvstr."
- Embleme 21. "And by our Death, our Life is new-begnnne", should probably read "new-begunne."
- Embleme 27. "Some, I have knowne, by Harlots Wiles undone", the italic "n" seems out of place.
- Embleme 30. "And shine like purest Gold, and Pretious-Stones", Pretious and Precious are both found in the text.
- Embleme 45. "Made entrance to it owne Destruction, hath", it could be its.
