The following conventions were employed when transcribing the document: the line spacing, spelling, capitalization, underlining, emphasis, deletions and punctuation follow the manuscript; reconstructions of suspensions are in italics; ‘u’ and ‘v’ have been rendered according to the document rather than to modern usage. ‘ff’ and ‘ss’ have been rendered as capitals where it seems clear that this was the writer’s intention. ‘Thorn’ has been transliterated conventionally as ‘th’, but all occurrences have been footnoted.
