Transcriber's Notes:

Although not written in currently standard English, spelling was standardized for several words where the majority of instances were shown one way and only one instance was shown differently. There are also many words which have two or more alternate spellings [example, aforesaid (58×); aforesaide (53×) and aforesayde (8×)] which were NOT standardized.

All sidenotes were placed above the paragraph in which they appear in the printed version. Two instances of missing closing parenthesis are found on Pages 171 and 263. The colon may be a typo for the closing parenthesis; but they were left as is. On Page 294, the opening bracket for a quoted passage was missing (as confirmed by comparison with another copy of this edition on The Internet Archive). This was added.
