This book is a scan of an 1844 printing. Its text comes from the scan's OCR layer, so occasional misread words may remain; please compare with the PDF where a passage looks wrong. Common OCR misreadings (such as “tlie” for “the”) were corrected against a dictionary and the book’s own vocabulary; wording and spelling of the original were not changed.
This UECF.NET web edition was converted from the source PDF: chapter order, headings, wording and Scripture references are kept as printed. Only page furniture (running heads, page numbers) and line-break hyphenation were removed. Use the “PDF pages” button in the reader to show the original page numbers.
