COMMENT: The module is incomplete, because the text has been cut short, after paragraph 17 at the beginning of sentence number 8.
Paragraph 17 in sentence (or verse) numbers 7 and 8 are:

• 7 A godly father in the primitive time shewed himself greatly moved that one of newfangleness called krabbaton skimpouV, [A bed. Niceph. Calist. lib. 8. cap. 42.] though the difference be little or none; and another reporteth [S.Hieron. in 4. Jonæ.

COMMENT: The links on the frontpage to <http://m2.aol.com/AV...B/av/KJVpre.htm> no longer finds the source.

Please include the Editor's note explaining that Section [§] and verse [sentece] numbers have been added for ease of reference and navigation.

§ Editor's Notes: The original marginal notes are included in [blue brackets] within the body of the text. Some supplemental notes, defining uncommon words, are included in {green braces} within the text. The text, not counting the green additions, is Public Domain, and may be freely used to the glory of God. Section ( § ) and verse numbers have been added for ease of reference and navigation. A clickable link index has been added. In the text, clicking on a section number returns you to the index. Note: If these two words; 1. Greek, 2. Greek, look the same: You need to be sure you have the "Symbol" font on your system (symbol.ttf or symbol.fon or possibly symbole font.) The Windows, Mac, and Adobe "Symbol" font are the same as far as the Greek part of the font. Most of the letters are the same as their english equivalents. C is greek Chi. F is greek Phi. Q is greek Theta. W is greek Omega. Y is greek Psi. Upper-case V is lower case greek final s.

Some of the margin notes in the Preface of the KJV-1611 are missing.
A good quality PDF scanned copy of the KJV-1611 is at: https://www.originalbibles.com/the-original-king-james-bible-1611-pdf This is from https://ia600300.us.archive.org/33/items/1611TheAuthorizedKingJamesBible/1611%20The%20Authorized%20King%20James%20Bible.pdf

The Trinitarian Bible Society has a copy of the Preface, "THE TRANSLATORS TO THE READER", with the margin notes, numbered at the end, at

https://www.tbsbibles.org/resource/collection/D1B0BDBE-CD9E-4D12-BBDD-138677F98835/The-Translators-to-the-Reader-with-footnotes.pdf

Bible Support has the Epistle Dedicatory, and the Preface THE TRANSLATORS TO THE READER with the margin references identified with a cross symbol when viewed in the Reference Library window, , and not numbered, and then these margin notes are numbered and appear as Notes at the end of the Preface. You wil find this at

http://www.biblesupport.com/e-sword-downloads/file/5559-kjv-preface/ When viewed in the Topic Notes editor the character is not known,and appears as a question mark in a square standing iat 45 degrees.
