[Oe List ...] Order Polity document

[Len Hockley]

Hi,

Let me add a bit of clarity on the "typos" in the scanned version.  The 
process of scanning a document to be able to use other than simply a 
picture of the document involves a process called Optical Character 
Recognition, OCR.  This involves the computer looking at the picture of 
each character and deciding what the character is.  It is very usual for at 
least a few mistakes to occur especially in a long document.
