I'm soliciting help in transcribing Gillespie's "Aaron's Rod Blossoming", but only if anyone is interested.
I've worked on typing up the first, second, and about half of the third chapter. Probably the best change I've done (in my opinion) is to move lots of the in-line references to footnotes while still remaining faithful to the original wording. As evidenced at the beginning of chapter three, this produces a text that is much easier to read. Additionally, extended quotations are being changed to block quotes, and scripture references "modernized" (though interestingly, this puts them back how they essentially were in the 17th century edition rather than the 19th).

However, I'm simply not going to be able to fast enough by myself to provide this for the book club. In the past I've seen some interest in volunteering for transcribing various works, would anyone be interested in that here? Even if it is only a chapter or a few pages. You'd receive a full copy of the completed PDF.
If so, please post the chapter you'll take, and type it up in plain text. I can do all the formatting.
And if not, then I'll keep at it as quickly as I can
