John Knox - The Hero of the Scottish Reformation #220821

Arly minister of Guthrie has rendered efficient service in the preparation Of the Index. It is a disputed question how far one is justified, when quoting Knox, in modernising the spelling. To retain uniformly the original form Of the words is not only inconvenient for many readers, but is sometimes even misleading; as when the Re former writes of certain pure men, meaning not innocent but poor. The author, accordingly, has modified the spelling in most cases, retaining occasionally, however, archaic forms where such retention appeared to add to the significance.
