TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE
This book was printed in 1735 and this etext is a careful reproduction of that original text. No spelling and very few punctuation corrections have been made in order to preserve the historical value of the original work.
All dates are Julian calendar dates; a new year begins on March 25th. When a year is given for a date between January 1st and March 24th it is shown in this etext as 1720/1 or 1721/2 or 1722/3.
The long-s ſ has been replaced by s throughout the etext.
Footnote anchors are denoted by [number], and the footnotes have been placed at the end of the book.
All changes noted in the [ERRATA] on page 266 have been applied to the etext. Each change is indicated by a dotted gray underline.
The page numbering of the main text starts at 1, 2 then jumps to 19, 20, 21 etc. No pages are missing, it is a printing error by the original publisher.
A few minor changes to the text, mostly obvious compositor errors, are noted at the [end of the book]. These are indicated by a dashed blue underline.
