TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES:
The text indicated quotes by repeating the open quote character on each
new line. This has not been followed in this transcription.
The text used the 'long s', as is common pre-1800. This has been
converted to a standard 's'.
The text used an 'oe' ligature for several words, which has been changed
to 'oe' in the text edition:
[oe]conomy
[oe]gnimatical
Gonnorh[oe]a
