Transcriber’s Note

The few words in Greek have been reproduced here as printed. Several lack the necessary (and occasionally the correct) diacritical marks.

There are also occasional lapses in the quotation of Biblical passages, where opening or closing quotation marks are misplaced or missing. The King James Version, which is used by the author, has been employed here as well to more accurately punctuate them.

The General Index, in the original text, used a tabular form. This has been re-cast as an indented list.

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.
