This book was first published in 1657. In this etext the character ſ
(long-form s) has been replaced by the modern s, and the character vv
has been replaced by w.
Italic text is denoted by _underscores_.
A superscript is denoted by ^x or ^{xx}, for example y^e or w^{ch}.
Several pages have examples of long division showing some numbers
with strikethrough (Unicode combining Short Stroke Overlay). On this
device the number 123 for example, with strikethrough, will display
as: 1̸2̸3̸
Obvious typographical errors and punctuation errors have been
corrected after careful comparison with other occurrences within
the text and consultation of external sources.
Except for those changes in the Note at the end of the book, all
misspellings in the text, and inconsistent or archaic usage, have
been retained.
All the changes in the Errata at the back of the book have been
applied to the etext. Several other occurrences of Gnaver and Milion
have also been changed to Guaver and Milon.
