A user suggests that this English entry be cleaned up, giving the reason: “Our quote says "exemplary" with an "e", so it doesn't attest this form. On the other hand, the quote as a whole does not seem to be in the original spelling, which then may say "examplary" after all. So we need to check and, if relevant, cite the original wording of 1611.”
