Talk:Philosophical Transactions/Volume 6/Number 80/Paper 1

To what extent do we modernize the original? The original contributor changed "easie" to "easy", and it's easy to see why. But I chose to leave the word "examin" as is (except for a [sic]).

We don't modernise the original at all. We reproduce the text exactly as it was printed. If a word needs to be flagged to show that is the original (mis)spelling, then we use either the {{SIC}} or the {{sic}} templates (they are different) as appropriate.
