unambiguous paragraph with non-indented first line
ambiguous paragraph: previous line ends with blank space, but the space is not large enough to contain the first syllable of the following line
sentence break corresponds to line break: this happens randomly in any printed book, and only becomes ambiguous when the book also has non-indented paragraphs
In this e-text, the second type of paragraph is marked with a simple line break (no extra space) and pilcrow ¶. The third type has a pilcrow ¶ but no line break. The fourth type is not marked.
Transcriber’s Footnote
[*] homotelento, -teleto:
In the facsimile edition, the body text has homoteleto but the Index has homotelento. In the other available text, the body text has homotelẽto with clear overline. The correct form is “homeoteleuton” (in this book’s spelling, probably “homioteleuton”).
Spelling
The pattern of initial v, non-initial u is followed consistently.
The spelling “they” is more common than “thei”.
The form “then” is normally used for both “then” and “than”; “than” is rare.
