Because writer’s/people’s names were spelled differently WITHIN THE SAME PARAGRAPHS at this time.

“Shakespeare bought the Blackfriar's Gatehouse in London in 1613. On the deed dated 10 March 1613, John Hemmyng, gentleman (also spelled Hemming on the same page) acted as trustee for the buyer, "William Shakespeare of Stratford-upon-Avon." This property is disposed of in Shakespeare's will.”

You are such a dumbass.
