This book was published in 1841, and is a reprint of the original book
by Edward Winslow published in 1624, with many footnotes added by the
1841 editor. The editor has occasionally inserted in brackets [] a
word missing from the 1624 text, for example [which] on page 9.
The footnote anchors are denoted by [number], and the footnotes remain
at the end of the main text, as they were in the original (1841) book.
They have been renumbered from 1 to 127. Some references to a ‘note’
have therefore been renumbered accordingly, for example the reference
to ‘note 2 on page 77’ has been changed to ‘note [35] on page 77’.
Italic text is denoted by _underscores_.
Some other minor changes to the text are noted at the end of the book.
