A compleat history and mystery of the Old and New Testament logically discust and theologically improved : in four volumes ... the like undertaking (in such a manner and method) being never by any author attempted before : yet this is now approved and commended by grave divines, &c.
Ness, Christopher, 1621-1705.

An ANIMADVERTISEMENT.

THAT all my Candid and Courteous Readers may have the more ample and abundant Satisfaction, both for their Expences in Purchasing, and for their better Improvement in Reading all my three Volumes Purchased; which do con∣tain the Cream and Quintessence of the best Authors, I have again (by the helping hand of my Heavenly Father) made a new, and another most prodigious Essay, and a most painful Travel through that golden Field of the whole Old-Testament, for drawing forth three distinct Index's and Alphabetical Tables to all the three Folio's; that so both the Holy Scriptures of every Book (where Explained) and the several Subjects common place wise (where treated upon) might the more ea∣sily with one Glance of the Eye be found out for present perusal: How exceed∣ing Elaborate this additional undertaking hath been to me, may apparently be un∣derstood by all who are wise-hearted, because this Work could not possibly be accomplish'd, but by a serious Review of every single Page in all the three di∣stinct Volumes Yet, may all my Labours come in the fulness of the Blessing of Christ to his Church, and may also Advance in any Measure his Kingdom and Glory, I shall not Grudge or Regret at any Part of my greatest Pains. Soli Deo Gloria.
