THE END.
CHISWICK PRESS:—PRINTED BY WHITTINGHAM AND WILKINS, TOOKS COURT, CHANCERY LANE.
Transcriber's Note, continued:
As Black Letter font—mentioned on pg. 167—is not readily available in most character sets, it has been represented here as bolded, slightly larger text.
Other than the corrections noted, spelling has been left as it appeared in the original copy of this book. This includes many archaic spellings that appear only once, such as thir, doe's, and ha's.
The format of all biblical citations has been regularized.
Footnote markers in the original were sometimes placed before the word they refer to, and sometimes after—this has been retained.
On pp. 13-29, the headers for Sections II. to VII. appear out-of-line although they were in-line in the original. On pages 63-69: "Corollary I." to "Corollary V." have been formatted as out-of-line headers. In the original, IV. and V. were out-of-line and I., II. and III. were in-line.
Although listed in the Table of Contents, Point 6 (pg. 267: "Bewitched Persons have sometimes been struck down with the Look of Dogs") was not numbered in the original, causing points 7 through 9 to be numbered incorrectly. This was corrected.
On pg. 135 the original book has "Ground-sel"—It appears that the "-sel" was mistakenly introduced during printing, as the word "Counsel" in the previous sentence was split over two lines and hyphenated ("Coun-sel".) However, this mistake is not unique to this reprint.
One other problem was noted but left unchanged: On pg. 268, Mather cites "Deut. 35.30," but Deuteronomy only has 34 Chapters. The context suggests he may have meant Numbers 35.30.
