Notes and Questions

I would like to make the observation that Rev. Benton had a tendency to start all words beginning with "E" in a cursive style that looks like a capital "E", but that may not have been intended to be a capital letter (according to context), as in "explain" in line 22. He also did this with the letter "S".
Thank you for your help. We are trying to duplicate what he wrote, so if he used capital letters even out of context we want to use capital letters.
