RHETORICA SACRA: OR, A Synopsis of the most mate∣riall Tropes and Figures contained in the Sacred Scriptures; by the knowing of which, we may of our selves ob∣serve many more like unto them.

Many Texts of Scripture are here ex∣pounded, many errors confuted, and the Mar∣row of most Rhetoricians (in reference to Divinity) collected.

All the Tropes and Figures are set in an Alphabeticall Order, for the more easie finding of them, and illustrated with variety of instances for the better understanding of them.

Christus Iudaeos ad Scripturarum non simplicem & nudam lectionem, sed ad investigationem perquam diligentem relega∣vit: non enim dixit, Legite Scripturas, sed Scrutamini (i) diligenter quaerite & quasi essodite latentes in câ Thesauros. .
