    3. HI, I do not have the answer for you. I thought you might like to know that the "f" in Blefsed and in witnefseth is actually the double "s" in those words. It was a long time before someone told me that this was the old handwriting style of making a double ss. So they did spell correctly words like blessed and witnesseth. Have a nice day!
