Corrected minor errors such as "secnt" to "secret", "F" to "of", "Ś" potentially being a misrecognition and contextually changed to "&" for "and", "go" to "do", "agamist" to "against", "Caution" to "Canton". Also reformatted some obvious spacing issues and corrected "copy" to "see" for better contextual flow.
