The page numbers (on the left) link through to the corresponding text. From there you may go to text and image; text and modern-spelling version; text compared with the Spence Manuscript; and text compared with the 1694 edition. The summary immediately below will take you to the relevant and more detailed part of the contents list.

N.B. Because of the horizontal format of the manuscript, the text-and-image page presents the image and transcription in slices, and the modern-spelling page dispenses with the line breaks at the end of the original lines, presenting them as continuous prose.
