Hi:

You will probably find that they are difficult to read if English is not your first language. The editions are in 16th Century English of which most modern English speakers seem to have difficulty. Also, the spelling is in 16th Century English as well. They did not have standardized spelling back then. Also, words that may read like "ye" do not necessarily mean "you" but "the." And, finally, sometimes something that looks like the letter "f" is actually an "s."

You will probably have a difficult time reading these facsimilies.

Blessings,

-CH
