Level of progress:	Completed and Proofread: Epistle Dedicatorie Completed, In Need to be Proofread: Philippians Currently Being Transcribed: Genesis Psalms Colossians Gospel of John
Notes:	The transcriber's typographic notes: The original text contains frequent use of the long s (ſ) where the letter occurs within or at the beginning of a word. It has been faithfully reproduced here. The letter variant r rotunda was used wherever the letter combination "or" occurred, but because it is unavailable in most typefaces, it has not been reproduced here. The same character is used for both modern letters "I" and "J", and also "i" and "j". In this transcription it appears as "I", or "i", for both. For both the modern letters "u" and "v", the original text used only the letter "u" to represent both in all cases but when it was the first character of the word, when "v" appears instead. The Tironian "et" (⁊) was also used in this text and has been reproduced here. The page and book headings are also reproduced here. The Words of Jesus are in written in red, though this doesn't accurately reflect the original text, it make the text more familiar to the reader. I, Dakota Groves by personal preference wanted this to make the text more readable to the reader.
