Transcriber's note
The original spelling, which is frequently inconsistent, has beenretained. The following words appear thus in the original: priesthod,resiant.
Some contractions, printed as vowels with a line over them, were usedin the original to indicate a vowel followed by an 'm' or 'n'. They arerepresented in this ebook by ā, ē, ō, ū. Hoveringover a word containing one of these symbols will display the expāsionof the contraction.
There are errors in the printed page numbers. The following pages are misnumbered: 16 (numbered as 10), 17 (as 7), 20 (as 14), 21 (as 11).
