The printed book had the following kinds of breaks: --conventional paragraph with indented first line --unambiguous paragraph with non-indented first line --ambiguous paragraph: previous line ends with blank space, but the space is not large enough to contain the first syllable of the following line --sentence break corresponds to line break: this happens randomly in any printed book, and only becomes ambiguous when the book also has non-indented paragraphs In this e-text, the second type of paragraph is marked with a pilcrow ¶. The third type has a pilcrow ¶ but no paragraph break. The fourth type is not marked. _Errors and Inconsistencies_ (Noted by Transcriber) Unless otherwise noted, spelling and punctuation are unchanged. Spelling: The pattern of initial “v”, non-initial “u” is followed consistently. The spelling “they” is more common than “thei”. The form “then” is normally used for both “then” and “than”; “than” is rare. The most common spelling is “wyll”, but “wyl”, “wil” and “will” also occur. Word Division: Line-end hyphens were completely arbitrary; words split at line break were hyphenated about two-thirds of the time. The presence or absence of a hyphen has not been noted. Hyphenless words at line-end were joined or separated depending on behavior elsewhere in the text: Always one word (re-joined at line break): som(e)what, without, afterward(e)s Usually one word: often()times, what()so()euer One or two words: an()other Usually two words: it/him/my.. self/selues; shal()be; straight()way Always two words: here to Roman Numerals: Numbers were printed with leading and following .period. When the number came at the beginning or end of a line, the “outer” period was sometimes omitted. These have been silently supplied for consistency. Notes:
