Note on published typography:
The original 16th century text and subsequent 19th century transcriptions used the various versions of our modern day 's', as well as short forms for 'en' 'an' and so on. The 's' resembled an 'f', sometimes with a rear bar, sometimes without one (as in 
or 
). Letters with a bar across the top usually meant they had an 'n' following (as in 
= 'en'), although an occasional common word ending in 'm' might use the same. A tilde across the top usually meant the letter was doubled (as in 
= 'mm'). These are rendered throughout the texts by small gifs as no commonly accessed present day computer font has these. Letter shapes more individual to the publisher's choice of typography (as, for example, 
) or the 'Blackletter' type have not been used (eg, '?' has been used and not the smaller blackletter 
and '&' has been used and not the smaller 
).
