If any of these characters do not display properly--in particular, if the diacritic does not appear directly above the letter--or if the quotation marks in this paragraph appear as garbage, make sure your text reader’s “character set” or “file encoding” is set to Unicode (UTF-8). You may also need to change the default font.

The original text was published as an eight-page pamphlet. In the surviving copy, used as the basis for all facsimile reprints, the bottoms of the pages have been cropped. A total of three lines-- shown as a row of asterisks-- are entirely missing, and a further three have been reconstructed from their surviving portions. The html version of this e-text shows the reconstructions.

Spelling and punctuation are unchanged. Bracketed [the] represents “y” with small “e” directly above it; the more accurate form yͤ may not display correctly in all text readers. Possible errors are listed at the end of the text.]
