Italic text is denoted by _underscores_.
A superscript is denoted by ^x or ^{xx}, for example y^e.
The character ſ (long-form s) has been replaced by the normal s.
Footnote anchors are denoted by a number in [ ], and the footnotes
have been placed at the end of the book.
These footnotes make numerous references to pages in Josselyn’s
“An Account of Two Voyages to New-England”. This book can be
accessed at: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/66922
This edition of 1865 is a faithful reproduction of the original
Josselyn edition of 1672, and the original spelling and punctuation
have been carefully preserved without change, in both the printed
1865 book and in this etext.
The page numbering of the 1672 book has been preserved and inserted
at the appropriate points of the text. These page numbers were in
[ ] in the 1865 edition, but have been changed to { } in this etext
to avoid confusion with the footnote numbering notation.
Some minor changes to the text are noted at the end of the book.
