HEre is offered thee for s••al price the product of much Study, and great Pairs. The Dutch Protestant Mi∣nistery thought it a Work very necessary for Prote∣stants that may read the Bible, to bind up with them, a••d therefore exposed these Mapps in their Vulgar Language, together with Explanations on each particular Mapp: And I for the same Reasons render you the same Mapps in the English Tongue, with apt Explanations on each of them.
I have examined every word in each Mapp particularly, and altered their spelling the names of Citties and Towns &c. to the spelling of our English Bibles, and Geographical Tables: and in some few Cases (where I saw positive Reason for it from the Bible) corrected the scituation of Places.
In this Book of Explanations Mr Butle•• (the Authour of Chri∣stologi) hath in a great measure assisted me: The rest I tran∣slated from its Original in the Dutch, all but some alterati∣ons I thought fit to make here and there.

I have also examined all the proofs of Scripture relative to this Discourse; which (I suppose by oft re-printing of later Impressions from former) were become exceeding falsly ci∣ted. But I have corrected them.
I confess some grave Eys or tender sighted Persons may wish the Letters in some of these Mapps had been bigger, which in regard of the fulness of those Mapps could not be: But if such Persons will use a Magnifying Glasse of smal price, they shall find the smalest letters appear large enough.
I chose this Volume for this little Book, that it might more conveniently ly open on the Maps while you are per∣using them, to avoid the trouble of turning them to and fro.
Where you find any Literal faults have escaped either in Engraving the Mapps, or Printing this Book, Pray mend them with your Pen, and consider how difficult it is to do any thing of this nature without some fault. Farewell.
Joseph Moxon.
