A TABLE OF THE SPE∣CIALL CONTENTS.

LOcks that are scrued with letters are most trou∣blesome to unlocke if we know not the parti∣cular letters by the setting whereof together the wards flye open: such is the ensuing discourse, con∣sisting of very many heads doubling or trebling the Alphabet as appeare by the marginall notes, yet, without any summaary contents premised or directorie Titles serving in stead of signall letters to open the severall parts and Sections thereof, It was thought therefore requisite to supply that de∣fect in the Romish Authour by this table wherein the Reader may readily and easily finde those re∣markable points which either are professedly hand∣led, or occasionally touched therein.
