    • CHAP. IV. The several places of Aben Ezra wrested by Elias and his Followers, considered: Their genuine Sence declared.

    • CHAP. IX. The Improbability of those Persons Pointing the Text, to whom the Invention thereof is assigned, further manifested from the Nature of the Masora, and the Design of their Masoretick Observations in General: And in Particular, from the Nature of their Notes on the Verses of the Bible.
    • CHAP. X. The Improbability of the Masorites Pointing the Text, further discovered, from the Na∣ture of their Notes on the Keri U Ketib, and the seven kinds of them.
    • CHAP. XI. The Improbability of the Masorites Pointing the Text, further discovered from the Nature of their Observations on the words written Full or Defective, called Meleim and Chaserim: And also from their Notes on the Ittur So∣pherim seu ablatio Scribarum; that is, what the Scribes have taken away: And from the Tikkun Sopherim seu correctio scriba∣rum, or the eighteen places amended by the Scribes: And from other Masoretick Notes on the words of the Bible; and their Sibbirin, or Conjectures.
    • CHAP. XII. The Improbability of the Masorites Pointing the Text, further shewed from the Nature of their Observations on the Letters of the Bible that are found Greater or Lesser than ordina∣ry, or that are Inverted or Suspended, or that are Open or Shut, or extraordinarily Pointed.
    • CHAP. XIII. The Improbability of the Masorites being the Inventors of the Punctation, more particu∣larly considered from the Nature of the Ma∣soretick Notes on the Punctation, and on all the Parts of it; and more especially on the Anomalies thereof.
    • CHAP. XIV. The Absurdity of the Opinion, That the Ma∣sorites Pointed the Text, A. D. 500. di∣scovered from the Evidence there is that the Masora which the Masorites made, was long before A. D. 500.
    • CPAP. XV. The Absurdity of the Opinion, That the Text was first Pointed A D. 500 further discovered from the Evidences of the Points, Vowels, Accents and Verses being long before that time; and the Instance of a Pointed Copy of R. Hillel, A. D. 340. and from the Ac∣count we have of these things in the Zoar, Bahir, Mishna and Talmuds.

    • CHAP. III. §. 1. The Testimony of all Christian States and Churches, Ancient and Modern, Considered. § 2. The Objection of Jerom's Translation, and the Fathers, and some Modern Divines not owning the Points Answered. §. 3. Where∣in the stres and strenght of the Testimony of Iews and Christians doth consists.
• The Second Part of the Second Part of this Discourse: WHEREIN The Reasons of Jews and Christians for the Antiquity of the Points, are Stated; and the Objections against them Answered.
  • CHAP. IV. §. 1. The First Reason for the Antiquity of the Points stated and maintained: That the Vowels are oft expressed in the Bible by the Punctation only; and yet are so essential to Speech, that all Languages are constrained to express them in one shape or other. §. 2. The Objection, That the Bible may be read without Points, because the Rabbini∣nical Commentaries, the Mishna, the Tal∣muds, and the Oriental Tongues may be so read, and the Greek without Accents, Answered: The Bible oft expresseth the Vow∣els only by the Points, which the Rabbins, and other Tongues, express by the Vowel Let∣ters. §. 3. As is evinced by several Instances. §. 4. And the Argument thereby proved.
  • CHAP. V. §. 1. The Second Reason for the Antiquity of the Points, stated, That the Scripture was written very plain; but without Points, 'twould be very obscure. §. 2. This is evin∣ced by a Collection of divers places where the Vowels are expressed by the Punctation only, and that in such places as would be un∣intelligible without the Points. §. 3. The Objection of Capellus, That 'tis not Impos∣sible, though it be Difficult to read without Points, Answered: The Objection, That 'tis the Office of the Ministry to Read, as well as to Expound, Answered. §. 4. The Argu∣ment from the whole proved.
  • CHAP. VI. §. 1. The third Reason stated, the Points evi∣dence their own Antiquity and Divine Au∣thority. §. 2. The Objection that there are superfluities in the Punctaion Answered. §. 3. The Objection about the Keri and Ketib, being only about the Letters, and never about Points, Answer'd. §. 4. The Objection of the insignificancy of the Musical Accents An∣swered. §. 5. The Objection of the Chaldee Names of the Points, Vowels and Accents, Answer'd. §. 6. The summe of the Argu∣ments of the Iews for the Antiquity of the Points, Declared.
  • CPAP. VII. §. 1. The Heads of Arguments used by Chri∣stians for the Antiquity of the Points, briefly mentioned. §. 2. The First Argument, That we are in peaceable Possession of the Punctation. §. 3. The Second Argument, That the Anomalies in the Punctation were before the Art and Grammar of it. §. 4. The Third Argument, taken from Mat. 5.18. That not a Tittle of the Law shall fail. §. 5. The Conclusion of this Discourse.
