Lapses in punctuation in the Index have been addressed with no further
notice here.
Any references in the footnotes to other notes have been changed to
reference the re-sequenced note numbers.
The reference at 85.19 to Romans 8.1, regarding the basis of civil law
in the Law of God, should be more plausibly made to Romans 13.1.
Other errors deemed most likely to be the printer’s have been corrected,
and are noted here. The references are to the page and line in the
original.
13.2 should be supported [r]ather than Added.
54.32 interrupted, or rather overrid[d]en, Inserted.
