Public domain: published before 1931. Text taken from Wikisource, which marks it as a text without a scanned source, and compared with a second transcription on reformedreader.org: the two agree apart from that site's footnote numbers, and both give the same section counts. Not yet proofread against a scanned original. Scripture proof texts are the King James Version, from the public-domain Project Gutenberg edition, added with tools/add_kjv.py. A few references could not be matched to verses (whole-chapter references such as ‘Genesis 1 throughout’, and typing slips in the source) and are shown without text.
