The main text of this book is a facsimile reproduction of printed
documents from around 1630, and include many printing errors from
those original documents. Spelling and punctuation are very
inconsistent. These issues have been left unchanged in this etext
to maintain the authenticity of the original works.
Italic text is denoted by _underscores_.
A superscript is denoted by ^x or ^{xx}, for example y^r or w^{ch}.
The character ſ (long-form s) has been replaced by the modern s.
The anchors for the eight footnotes are denoted by [number]; these
Notes have not been moved and can be found before the Index near the
end of the book. There is also one other footnote in the book with
the anchor [A] on page 53; this footnote has been moved and placed
after the eight numbered Notes.
Some characters and groups of characters have an overline,
similar to a macron. These will display, using Unicode combining
diacritical for an overline, on this device as
m̅ n̅ o̅ u̅ (m n o and u with overline)
c̅o̅ o̅s̅ o̅e̅ m̅o̅ (co os oe and mo with overline)
c̅o̅n̅ (con with overline)
Some minor text changes to the Introduction and the Index are noted
at the end of the book.
