Transcriber's note.
Inconsistencies in spelling, grammar, capitalisation and punctuation have
generally been retained, unless the inconsistency is obviously an error.
e.g. Iustice and Justice (etc.) are both used; wickednss (page 53) may be
a printer's error, or the author's contraction. There are a few instances of
'wickednesse', and only one of 'wickedness'; there are a few instances of
'yeild', and 'yeeld', but none of 'yield'; 'then' is used throughout the book where modern writers would
use 'than'; and apostrophes are notable by their absence.
The prefix 'un' is used where modern writers would use 'in'. Many other words have more than
one spelling. Phonetic spellings have been retained.
'proreption' (p. 66) means 'slow advance' (Google Books).
The long 's' ∫ or f, prevalent at the time, has been updated to the modern 's',
which even in 1649 was used at the ends of words.
There are some instances of what seem to be genuine errata:—
Sundry missing, damaged or extraneous punctuation has been repaired.
