The printed book did not number the pages in sequence; instead itnumbered the recto (odd, right) pages of the first few leaves in eachsignature. Folio numbers in smaller print were added by the transcriber;all verso (even, left) pages are shown as ||. Two sets of pageswere apparently printed out of sequence. Details are given at theend of the text, along with notes on a few otherproblems.
A few words such as “with” or “the” were printed as abbreviations:initial “y” (for þ, thorn) or “w” with small “t” or “e” above it. Theseare shown as ordinary superscripts: ye, wt.Typographical errors are shown with mouse-hover popups. Numerals such as “.x.” wereprinted without adjoining spaces; spacing has been silently added.
The table of contents was part of the original text.
