Some old figures of speech and allusions have been reworked to make them understandable to the modern reader. Bible quotations are indicated by italics and their references are given. References are also given for Bible paraphrases and allusions. Other quotations are shown by quotation marks. Latin quotations (except "A Sample Paragraph (#3)") are given ONLY in English. Basic content headings and a Table of Contents (with links to each section) have been added. The purpose has been to make the text understandable to the modern reader. PLEASE bring any errors to the attention of the translator.
