And that yt is the kingdome of Mercia, the etymon of the woorde doth teache; for þÿk in the saxon tonge signyfyethe a kingdome; meþcen signyfyethe markes. The 1876 text uses the Saxon letterforms: Meꞃecenꞃÿke, ꞃÿk, meꞃcen. _At the time of preparation (June 2009), Saxon letters had been assigned Unicode values, but font support was extremely limited. Your text reader will probably not be able to display the character._
