[Footnote 2: This edition has no date, but _Brunet_ says (vol.
iii. p. 1359) that it is printed from the same type used by
_Gerard Leeu_ at Antwerp in 1484 or 1485. As _Graesse_ also
confirms this, I attribute that date to it.]
[Footnote 3: The dated works of Est, Este, East, or Easte
range from 1565 to over 1600.]

The spelling of this book is from the 14th Century, is often
phonetic, and is not necessarily consistent.

'here' (location) is also spelt 'heere', 'heare';
'here' has also been used to spell 'hair';
'were' is sometimes used for 'where';

'y^t' usually means 'that', and 'y^e' is 'the'.
'to' is used for 'to' and 'too';
'by' for 'by' and 'buy';
'of' for 'of' and 'off';
and 'off' for 'off' and 'of'....
'li' = libre = a pound (both weight and money, depending on
context);
a groat = 4 pence; a florin = 2 shillings.
A word or name can be spelt several ways in the same paragraph,
and names capitalised and non-capitalised in the same sentence.
Apostrophes (of ownership) were sometimes present, sometimes
absent, even in the same paragraph.
Also, (e.g.):
'le IIII iour dauril' = 'le IIII jour d'avril' = the 4th day of April;
'natif dangleterre' = 'natif d'angleterre' = 'native of England', etc.
