I haven't managed all of them, but I can offer these, some of which I am not sure of:

114.1 - dandies?
116m.1 - cham? chani?
117m.1 - par^h = paragraph; met - then I think "W.S."
123.1 - kids; line 3 'proportional'; line 6 could be 'gratified' but I can't tell what it's been changed from, or what the crossed out word before it is
125.1 - lined
130m.1 - I agree with 'sayeth'
131m.1 - bird
132.1 - tattied? (for 'tattered')
136.1 - burners?
141.1 - looks like 'and or' ('and/or' is now common, but was the phrase used then?)
143.1 - line 6 'neat'
144.1 - rich & verdant
147.1 - I can't get the missing word, but it's 'addition' not 'addiction'!
153.1 - 'Qu:' = Query

[JanSeifert]

117m.1 - par^h = paragraph; met - then I think "W.S."

but would that not mean »which I met« instead of »whom I met«
another example of his excentric grammar?

also: what about »M^r S.« ?

143.1 - line 6 'neat'

the following is poppy, but the last word buggs me - again! its the same as in 7.1.
