Transcriber’s Note

The footnotes references in the text were erratic, frequently misaligning with the notes on each page, or missing altogether. The latter’s placement in the text is done here on a best-guess basis.

Footnotes have been re-sequenced numerically to be unique across the entire text.

The third full paragraph on p. 246 has a confusion of quotation near its end. It is unclear, by the context, where the last nested quotation should end, and so the confusion remains.

A similar confusion appears at the top of p. 296. A closing single quote appears at “we are for ever justified by Christ alone,[’]”. Either it is itself spurious, or the opening of that nested quotation is missing.

Near the bottom of p. 467, an extra space precedes the words ‘here given’ at the beginning of a line. The lengthy quotation that follows is assumed to be the description referenced, and the extra space has been removed.

In the Index, the entries for Bouverot and Downes have been placed in their proper alphabetic order.

Errors deemed most likely to be the printer’s have been corrected, and are noted here. The references are to the page and line in the original.
