Sample subheading following a block quote

[This is a place holder for the following example footnote.1]

1 This is a footnote. Note that the footnote must begin on the same page where the footnote is referenced in the text. Note also that a footnote may be continued to the next page only if necessary, as in this example. Such a footnote must not extend beyond one continuation page. If the footnote does break to the next page, note also that the style for the footnote automatically inserts “(continued next page)” into the text of the footnote. This demonstrates the display of the “footnote continuation marker.”

[The following provides an example of a Scripture reference for the construction of a

Scripture index. My favorite Scripture is Romans 1:16. I like the way it reads in the

NIV.]
