The cover image was produced by the transcriber and is placed in the public domain.

The original book was printed in an Old English Black Letter type-face. The emphasized text was printed in a normal but slightly smaller font, often italicised as well. In this eBook, in order to make the book more readable and to maintain the emphasized words, I have adopted a normal type-face for the main body of text and used a bold type-face, italicised as required.

Typographical errors worth a special mention:

In the original "Table of Chapters", The Third Part, Chapter 7 is shown as Folio 199. This should read Folio 195. This has been corrected.

Page 7: The original reads: 'Onocentanrus'. It should read: 'Onocentaurus'. This has been corrected.

Page 12: In the original: 'Paules Aegineta writeth'. It should read: 'Paulus Aegineta writeth'. This has been corrected.

Page 38: Page incorrectly numbered. Page 34 should read Page 38. (Page number only). This has been corrected.

Page 42: Original reads: 'in the Countrey of Rhetia,'. It should read 'in the Countrey of Rhetia),' missing closing bracket. This has been corrected.

Page 58: [Sidenote: The spirit of Athens.] Original reads: 'The spirit of Athen.]' It should read: 'The spirit of Athens.]'. This has been corrected.

Page 115: The original reads: 'in the 16. of Ruke'. It should read: 'in the 16. of Luke' This has been corrected.

Page 130: The original sidenote reads 'Actes.12.'. It should read: 'Actes.10.'. This has been corrected.

Page 143: Original contains an isolated bracket:'life of Cimon, (as hée is translated'. Left as shown in the original as uncertain as to where the missing bracket should be.

Page 151: The original contains a reversed bracket: '(which many haue noted before mee (that many" It should read: '(which many haue noted before mee) that many'. This has been corrected.

Page 196: Original reads: 'fault vpon his wife Eua,'. This should read: 'fault vpon his wife Eue,'. This has been corrected.

Page 208: In the original the Opening bracket is missing. It should read: 'passiuely, (as they terme it in the schooles)'. This has been corrected.

Page 208: in the original book, is incorrectly numbered as Page 107. This has been corrected.

The page numbers 194/195 and 198/199 have changed places in the original (only the numbers!). Corrected.

Page 30:The 'wt' appears to be purely the author's own abbreviation for the word 'with'.
