A treatise of the cohabitacyon of the faithfull with the vnfaithfull. / Whereunto is added. A sermon made of the confessing of Christe and his gospell, and of the denyinge of the same.

Notes on the Text

The printed book used an unusual system of page numbering. The recto (right) side of each leaf was numbered in sequence; in addition, the first five pages of each sixteen-page signature were numbered as Ai, Aii... Both are shown in the left margin. The verso pages are shown in this e-text by lines ||.

The spellings “poeple”, “lenghth”, “satisficed” are standard; “pix” may be more recognizable as “pyx”. The text normally used “v” initially, “u” later in the word. The sidenotes used “vv” where the body text used “w”.

Some vowels were written with an overline—here shown as a tilde—representing a following nasal (m or n). Although some combinations were more popular than others, there were no absolute rules; it seems to have been done primarily to make lines come out even. The overline never occurs in a partial line, as at paragraph-end.

Pg. 45 the corrupt blindnes of the vnbeleauers

Some sections of the text were almost illegible and had to be reconstructed by fitting letterforms into the surving printed areas.

Pg. 9.v our naturall and birthe syn

Much of page 12 (recto) was difficult to make out. Sections of the top and bottom are shown here. The word “allow” fits the visible text, but is spelled “allowe” on all other occurrences.

Pg. 12 thincke hymself greatlye gyltie of ony notable cryme or fault

Pg. 12 and set. furthe hymself to be worshipped of thẽ as godd. And so being corrupted he did allow that

Pg. 29v: the last letter of each line (along the inner margin) had to be reconstructed.

Pg. 22-32: All leaves in this range are misnumbered as 23-33. The signature numbers at the bottom of the page are correct. Page 27 (recto) has a double error: “82” for “28” for correct “27”.

Pg. 79 if a man did denie in persequution he synned not

At various places in the text, words and letters were crossed out, apparently by hand. In most cases it is impossible to tell whether these corrections were made by the printer or by a later reader, but the deleted letters can generally be deduced.

Pg. 9.v The phisicions / do cowncell [that] when a contagius disease

Pg. 38 vse the rite and ceremonie as the lord[r]e cõmaũded

Pg. 38.v wicked actes and the do[y]inge of them

Pg. 54 Sidenote: Psal. 59 changed from “95”, with comparison text showing printed “9”:

Pg. 55 Augustine speaketh of. Many might[h]e

Pg. 59 to [to] the glorie of his name

Pg. 75.v to keape peace with them [wit] he must

Pg. 80.v ther is [[is]] almost neither measure nor end.
The word “is” fits very well, except for the absent dot.

The printed book ordinarily used “v” initially, “u” later in the word. Sidenotes used “vv” for “w”. Exceptions:
