[Transcriber's Note:

This text is intended for users whose text readers cannot use the "real"
(unicode/utf-8) version. A few letters such as "oe" have been unpacked,
and curly quotes and apostrophes have been replaced with the simpler]

Words shown in +marks+ were printed in blackletter ("gothic") type.
Spelling, punctuation and capitalization-- including the variation
between W and VV-- are as in the original. Errors are listed at the
end of the text.

The chapter on "Ringing" almost certainly contains undetected
typographical errors. Readers interested in solid information may
prefer _Tintinnalogia_ (1671), Project Gutenberg e-text 18567.]
