On your blog, type your observations as to the visual style - letters, punctuation, spelling - of this document from 1616 from one that is contemporary.
This document of the Renaissance time was very hard to understand the meaning of this whole documents. Some words were actually wrote it differently. Letters was hard to see, it looks like other letters which makes us pronouncing the wrong word. This was making us how frustrating it was to understand and to read out loud. It took a long time to read through all the sentences. I believe that the educated people during Renaissance time can read this as fast as we can read normal text from these days.
