Transcriber's Notes:

The original book cites Holland's _Her[Greek: o]ologia_ in several
places, but consistently misspells it _Hero[Greek: o]logia_. This
has been corrected based on the image of the original title page
of _Her[Greek: o]ologia_ at the Library of Congress, www.loc.gov.

The original book occasionally uses a numeral or letter enclosed
in square brackets. In this e-book, these have been changed to
curly brackets to avoid confusion with footnote markers.
