Summary
Editorial note
Punctuation and use of capital letters has been standardised. Contractions and suspensions have been extended silently unless the scribal intention is unclear, in which case the extension has been placed in square brackets. The use of the letters c, t, i, j, u and v, sometimes used interchangeably in the documents, has been standardised according to pronunciation and the spelling of modern English words derived from the Latin or French words in which they occur.
