angevin for suggesting I look in EEBO - my previous researches had only found me sources back to about the turn of the 20th century, which wasn't helping w/r/t Herbert's original spelling etc. But lookie!
So, as George intended, I will use the long s and I will capitalize nothing - hurrah! ... And I will probably abandon my semicolons and em-dashes. That's okay. But I will still substitute modern "than", because apparently that's where I draw the line.
