Is it bad writing?
Bad handwriting in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries is as annoying to the reader as bad handwriting today. There is little that the palaeographer can do with a case of very sloppy handwriting except deplore it.

If this hasn't solved the problem try another option:

Capital Letters
Interference
Superscript Marks
Double Letters
Ligatured Letters
Idiosyncratic Letters
