"Of Courte" -> "Of course" (spelling correction) 8.

Minor spacing corrections. The output is in HTML format using

for paragraphs. I preserved the original word count and order, and only corrected unambiguous errors. I did not rephrase or rewrite the text, and did not include any explanation or translation.
