- Transcriber’s Notes:
- The [footnotes] have been gathered together and inserted at the end of the text.
- On page 115 the word “comon” and on page 187, the word “comands” appeared with a tilde (˜)over the letter “m”. This probably was a contraction of “mm” and it was replaced by those letters.
- Many inconsistencies in dating were left as they appeared on the printed page.
- Missing or obscured punctuation was silently corrected.
- Typographical errors were silently corrected.
- Inconsistent spelling and hyphenation were made consistent only when a predominant form was found in this book.
