Directions to find the use of this CONCORDANCE.

Courteous Reader,

BE pleased to take notice, that this Concordance, though but small, containeth as much as if it were larger, I studied brevity, I could have made it larger, but for those reasons be∣fore shewed, I abridged it, and yet nothing which is very useful is left out neither; for whereas many Concordances, are stored with many Words which are not needful, as for ex∣ample, the word Aaron, David, and Saul, and abundance more which are not so needful as o∣thers; and likewise those words which are use∣ful, are so clouded with impertinent Scripture, which causeth those Concordances to be so large; but in this Treatise, the choifest words are onely quoted, and the choifest Scriptures to those words. Now to shew you the use of this Concordance, it is as followeth; the Book is placed Alphabetical, as A. B. C. D. E. and the like; now if you would find any word of note, mind the first and second Letter in the word, and then look on the top of the page,

and when you see those two Letters, there you may then soon have your desire; as for ex∣ample, if you would find the word Baptisme, or Barren, or any word which begins with B A, look in the second Letter of the Book, on the top of that page where you see B A, you will soon have your desire; if you would have the word Blind, or Blood, then look B L, and so of all the rest; if you would consider some∣thing about the Fear of God, then look in F, for F E; if you desire the word Faith, then look F A; or if you would find Repentance, look in R, for R E; or if you would find Watching, or Waiting upon God, then look in W, for W A; if you would find Wisdome, then look W I, and so of all the rest; and al∣though there is not a Line to every Scripture, with the word at length, which would have made the Book volumnious, yet there is such divisions, that you may find the sense of any Scriptures in short time; Thus leaving the Reader, who faithfully improves the Talent gi∣ven him, unto the blessing of God; and the Book, unto the rugged waves of mens cen∣sures; I remain.

A Friend to all so far as they are the Truths, Will. Chadwell.
