The "misspellings" are a result of the fluid nature of the English written language, and its script forms, through the 18th century.
- The word "insure" is used instead of the modern variant ensure.
- The word "defence" still used the British English spelling (later US defense)
- The word "blessings" uses the prominent "Ss" calligraphic form.
