        is to silently close up compounds, there being no warrant to assume that details like
        spacing and orthography reflect authorial intention. We make an exception here because it is
        just possible that the 1590 reading accurately renders copy that gave an outdated form
        deliberately as part of the effort to lend an archaic feel to the language. "Ther to" and
        "there to" are at least as frequent as "thereto" in Medieval texts; the close-up form
        appears to have become standard during the sixteenth century. </div>
