A Word Concerning Spellings
Regarding the spelling of words, throughout the present work I have completed common abbreviations in the titles and content of early modern English texts and normalized the use of u/v, i/j, and vv/w according to modern spellings. Beyond such minor corrections, I have left early modern spellings unchanged to retain respectful historical distance.
