TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE

This book was first published in 1657. In this etext the character ſ (long-form s) has been replaced by the modern s, and the character vv has been replaced by w.

Several pages have examples of long division showing some numbers with strikethrough (Unicode combining Short Stroke Overlay). On this device the number 123 for example, with strikethrough, will display as: 1̸2̸3̸

Obvious typographical errors and punctuation errors have been corrected after careful comparison with other occurrences within the text and consultation of external sources.

Except for those changes in the Note at the [end of the book], all misspellings in the text, and inconsistent or archaic usage, have been retained.

All the changes in the [Errata] at the back of the book have been applied to the etext. Several other occurrences of Gnaver and Milion have also been changed to Guaver and Milon.
