Transcriber's note:
Letters with an extra space before them show those that should be
removed & letters with { } around them show those added as there are
some mistakes in the book & because plain text is used. (I changed
mathematical & meter but it maybe that they are correct and the others
are wrong). I did not change _Shak{e}spe{a}re, mortgag eor_ & some
words in lists. (The N word should have a capital!)

I've used superscript _a_ for broad _a_ (instead of 2 dots under it).
& superscripted _a_ & _o_ (Spanish ordinals) before _o_ for ligatures.
A long vowel should have a straight line over it but I've shown them by
using a colon : after them. Short vowels are shown by a grave accent
mark after instead of a curved line over the letter. An equals sign =
after a word shows that the next 1 should start the next column.
