[NOTES.]
[It may be observed, once for all, that the expression in to repeatedly occurs where we should simply use in; and one to is in like manner put for unto. The ending -ith (for -ed) is frequent in the past tense, and -it (also for -ed) in the past participle, though this distinction is not always observed. A still more noticeable ending is -ing (for -en) in the infinitive. Observe further that the letters v, u, and w are perfectly convertible, and used quite indiscriminately; so that wpone means upon; vthir means uthir, i.e., other: our is put for over; vounde signifies wound, etc.]
