This is part of a project to provide a readable and useful renditions of old English theological texts. The idea is to not only have readable modernized language, but retain enough (and explain) the theologically precise terms, and retain foreign terms with a translation. This should help the younger reader to understand the substance of the text without removing too much of the details so as to make it entirely unrecognizable.
