[Technical Notes and Errata:

The character “l-bar” ƚ has been represented in this text by “l-stroke” ł,
as it is much more widely available.

Two entries in the Table of Contents were merged in the printed book,
apparently for reasons of space. The original form was:

HOW TO CURE FRENSY, GOUT, AND TROUBLES FROM DEVILS, WICKED THOUGHTS,
ETC., p. 17; AND HOW OUR QUINTE ESSENCE IS HEAVEN 19
