The author writes in traditional 1600s English language, so I had to look more than two dozen words up, and there were at least two words/phrases that I could not find, nor gain the meaning from the paragraph. I would suggest they (the author and publisher) include a dictionary in the back of the book in future editions (I read it on Nook). Overall I really enjoyed the history of the book.
