The orthography differs at many points from the D'Urfey/Bronson text, but the only substantives (the textual critic's term for the actual words of the text, as opposed to punctuation, capitalization, etc. -- also italics, of which there are many in the text) that I noticed are as follows. I'll use the standard text-critical form of lemma ] variant, i.e. what is in that text is to the left of the bracket, what is to the right is the alternative. So my first one is

2.1 outof ] out of

means that in stanza 2, line 1, your text has "outof"; Bronson has "out of"

So the collation is:
2.1 outof ] out of
3.2 Horses ] Horse
5.1 plaguey ] plagey
7.2 haerd ] hard
7.3 roar's ] roar'd
