THE

INDE X.

r the more convenient referring in the following Index, the Page is continued in the Second Volume, the First ending with 588. So that all beyond that Number is to be looked for in the Second Volume.

e Figures between the Columns number the Lines. The First Column, or that which is towards the left hand, I diftinguifh by [a], the other by [b]. When I refer to the Text, either of the Old or New Teftament, I fet down only the Chapter and Verfe. When I refer to any Note, I fay on fuch or fuch a Place. For Example, under Alms, at the Proportion to be given, there is on A&t. 11.29. that is, the Note on A&t. 11. 29. treats of That Subje&t.

he References are thus referr'd to. The first Number ftands for the Page; then follows a, or b, which denotes the Column, then the Number or Numbers, till you come to a full Point, which stand for the Lines. If feveral Pages are referr'd to, the Numbers following a full Point exprefs the Pages. Thus under Alms it is faid, Almfgiving, a Duty very much infifted on in the holy Scriptures. Here the Numbers after a full Point are 240, 279, 294, 301. which exprefs the Pages; the Letters being all [a], denote the first Column in thofe Pages, the other Figures the Lines. ge 122, 123, 124, 125. are by Miftake twice printed, which I mention, that if the Reader does not find what he looks for, he may have Recourse to the other Place. Sometimes when the Text only is referr'd to, there are References under it belonging to the fame Subject, and almoft always the Text is to be taken in with the References.

may perhaps fometimes require a little Thought,to difcern the reason why fome Texts are referr'd to; and I shall not be furprized, if the Reader fometimes thinks that I have mistaken fome Places, as I have thought others have done; but I have not willingly mifapplied any Texts.
