Status: Incomplete

of our Latter End. 3
this Lecture is read unto us by the many
casualties and diseases that put a period
to the Lives of many in our own experience
and observation, by the many warnings
and monitions of Mortality that every man
finds in himself either by the occurrences
of diseases and weaknesses, and especially
by the declinations that are apparent in us
if we attain to any considerable age; and
the weekly Bills of Mortality in the great
City, where weekly there are taken away
ordinarily three hundred persons: The
Monuments and Graves in every Church
and Church-yard do not only evince the
truth of it, whereof no man of under-
standing doubts, but do uncessantly incul-
cate the remembrance of it.

Transcription Conventions

Spelling: Maintain original spelling (including u/v, i/j, and ff). Long "s" should be replaced with a regular "s". Terminal long "i" characters are transcribed as "i" not "j".
Hyphenation: Preserve hyphens (including "=" characters) at the ends of lines.
Capitalization: Maintain original
Punctuation: Add modern periods, but don't add punctuation like commas and apostrophes.
Deletions: Deleted characters and words are tagged with "strike" and then displayed with the line through them.
Symbols: For apothecary and alchemical symbols, use these symbols followed by the meaning of the symbol in brackets: Rx [recipe]; ℈ [scruple]; ʒ [dram]; ʒs [half dram]; ℥ [ounce]; ℥s [half ounce]; ℔ [pound].
For roman numerals following symbols that indicate amount, i.e., j=1, ij=2, iij= 3, v=5, type arabic numeral in brackets following roman numeral: i [1], ii [2], iii [3], v [5].
Line Breaks: Hit return once after each line ends. Two returns indicate a new paragraph, which is usually indentation following the preceding sentence in the original. The times at the end of each entry should get their own paragraph, since the software does not support indentation in the transcriptions.
Illegible text: Indicate illegible readings in single square brackets: [Dr?]
A single newline indicates a line-break in the original document, and will not appear as a break in the text in some views or exports. Two newlines indicate a paragraph, and will appear as a paragraph break in all views.
