[Notes on the Text]
Capital U/V is shown as “V” for consistency, although the letterform is closer to “U”. Thorn Þ appears several times at the beginning of lines, and once in an abbreviation; “th” is used everywhere else. A series of lines on page A.iiii. verso, starting with “ye neyther loue me nor my Iustyce fere”, have initial lower-case “y”. The first of these may have been necessary to avoid collision with the Þ of the previous line:
In verse, nasal abbreviations such as ã and ẽ appear only in lines with large initial drop caps. Other abbreviations—mainly in the Latin passages—are shown in this e-text as superscripts: qui, christi. The word shown as þou was printed as u directly above þ: þͧ.
