Obvious typographical errors have been silently corrected. All other spelling and punctuation remains unchanged.
Open passage
The typesetting has used VV for W, with variable spacing. This has been replaced with W throughout.
Open passage
The sidenote in Chapter XVI of The Booke of the Secrets of Alchimie begins “The quantitie is called by the Logitians Passion,” it seems likely from the context that this should read The quality etc.
