TO THE READER.
ALthough a Methodicall Book be an Index to it self: yet an Index is not to be contemned by the most Industrious Reader: Whom we request to take notice of the following Particulars.
- I. C. stands for Century. B. for Book. P. for Page. ¶ for Paragraph.
- II. In the two first Books, memorables are ranked onely according to Cen∣turies and Paragraphs, but afterwards by Books.
- III. Paragraph without page doth for brevity sake referre to that page which was last named.
- IV. Page without Book, on the same reason, relates to the last Book that was named.
- V. VVhere no Paragraph is named, it sheweth that the page by it self is suf∣ficient notification.
- Lastly, know that the discounting of Sheets (to expedite the work at severall Presses) hath occasioned in the Fifth book after page 200. compleated, to go back again to page (153). surrounded in this fashion, to prevent confusion.
