NOTE WEY CONCERN DI WHOLE TEXT

As dem reproduce di text for English:

1. Dem no change any of di words at all. But dem don show di correct versions of di two small mistakes for di quotations with italics.

Make we mention as we dey pass say, many times for di Spiritual Exercises, dem give di text of Holy Scripture with words wey different small from di ones for di Vulgate. Dem no point out these differences for this translation. Make we remember say, when dem write di book, di Council of Trent never put im seal of approval on di Vulgate.

1. Dem keep di headings and di rubrics just as dem dey for di Manuscript. Where dem no dey, dem don add dem with italics.
2. Dem don write di shortened words out in full.
3. Anywhere dem use italics, di words wey dem print that way na di translator own, no be St. Ignatius own.
4. For how dem use small and capital letters, punctuation marks, and how dem divide di text into paragraphs, dem mostly no follow di way di person wey copy di Manuscript do am. Dem also use different kinds of print without following di Manuscript.
5. To make things easier, when dem cite Holy Scripture, dem use di modern way of chapter and verse instead of di chapter-and-letter way wey di Mss. use. Dem also use quotation marks to mark quotations instead of di brackets wey di Mss. use.

ELDER MULLAN, S.J.
