Transcriber’s Note
French diacritical marks were largely absent, and, with a few
exceptions, noted below, have not been added.
On p. 379, the paragraph beginning “After other business...”,
appears in quotation marks, but it seems to be in the author’s
voice. The punctuation is, however, retained here.
Several words occur only once, with a non-standard spelling, by 21st
century standards: villany (p. 76), malecontents (p. 295), vail (p.
472). They are retained as printed.
Errors deemed most likely to be the printer’s have been corrected,
and are noted here. The references are to the page and line in the
original. The following issues should be noted, along with the
resolutions.
24.6 and con[s]cious of their mistake Inserted.
