And that's it! Sent off the new training set and hopefully improve the issues I have encountered!
I will also use this model for the 1728 print. It's a different printing press, but overall, the two prints are very much alike, and so is the type they use.

While proofreading, I observed 2 distinct ways is realised in the 1674 print from Copenhagen. This happens when more than one worker is typesetting the print. Let's call them Villads & Emil. Villads has been doing this job for a while now; he routinely typesets all words w/ a beautiful cursive font. Emil, who's already having difficulty reading the text, uses for everything & only sets Latin proverbs in cursive.
