Transcriber’s Notes:

in the original text.
Equal signs “=” before and after a word or phrase indicate =bold=
in the original text.
Small capitals have been converted to SOLID capitals.
Illustrations have been moved so they do not break up paragraphs.
Old or antiquated spellings have been preserved.
Typographical errors have been silently corrected.
The TOC entry “The Acquittal of the Seven Bishops celebrated in
Bridgnorth” was changed from 186 to 199.
On page 156 there is small text above numbers. These have been
represented here as: {xxxx/999}, eg. {either/224}.
