Transcriber's note:
Separate characters 'oe' are used for the 'oe' ligature.
Each chapter begins with a separate chapter page and summary, followed
by a separate epigraph page, and an additional chapter heading. The
redundant chapter headings have been removed.
Quoted matter was printed with a reverse, or hanging indentation, with
the first line of each quotation on the normal margin and the remaining
lines indented. This indentation was repeated on each new page. These
quotations are rendered here by simply indenting all the quoted matter.
The reference made in Archbishop Laud's diary, quoted on p. 48,
would seem to be to Isaiah 50 (i e., 'l').
