TRANSCRIBERS' NOTES:
p 14: there is no closing quotation mark following the line '"making and
fomenting plots was then in fashion; nor can it be denied that good
grounds for such an opinion were not lacking.' The closing mark is
placed at the end of this sentence, though this may be incorrect.
p 20: continuation of footnote 37 from previous page begins with 'avor';
this is a typo for 'favor'.
p 24: 'the' repeated in footnote 49, epigram 2; one 'the' removed.
p 32: added a closing quotation mark following 'and prepared for them'.
p 36: added . to end of footnote 87, after 'The Spanish Treason'.
p 49: Inserted , into footnote 124; 'James I., lxxxi.'.
p 120: footnote 257: missing closing bracket; corrected.
p 154: inserted , into footnote 310; 'James I., i. 588'.
p 160: changed ' to " to match quote mark style, footnote 329.
p 194: footnote 396: 'Englands' changed to 'England's'.
p 248: added missing full-stop: 'give ease to Catholics'.
p 255: added opening double-quote marks to the passage entitled
'Application to the King.'
p 266: the oe ligature was represented as [oe]
p 268, 269: uncommon 'inverted asterism' topographic marks are used to
signify important notes on conventions used in the text; they have the
form of three asterixes arranged in a v-shape. For simplicity, they are
replaced with '***' in this document.
p 281: 'incrediblty' changed to 'incredibility', 'o' changed to 'of'.
