Chapter I: Front Matter

Transcriber's notes:

In the original book, each odd-numbered page (except for the first
page of a chapter) had its own header. In this e-book, each
chapter's headers have been collected into an introductory
paragraph at the start of the chapter.

The original book contained many Greek words. They have been
transliterated according to the Project Gutenberg "Greek How-To,"
and have been indicated with surrounding underscores.

Italicised words in the original have also been indicated with
underscores, but such words are always English.

Bold-face text in the original book has been enclosed between
plus (+) signs in this ebook.

Footnotes have been renumbered consecutively and moved to the
end of their host chapter.

Unchangeable Thou art, and shall be evermore."
