A commentary upon the whole Old Testament, added to that of the same author upon the whole New Testament published many years before, to make a compleat work upon the whole Bible. Vols. 2-4. Wherein the divers translations and expositions, literall and mysticall, of all the most famous commentators both ancient and modern are propounded, examined, and judged of, for the more full satisfaction of the studious reader in all things, and many most genuine notions inserted for edification in the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. A work, the like unto which hath never yet been published by any man, yet very necessary, nor only for students in divinity; but also for every Christian that loveth the knowledge of divine things, or humane, whereof this comment is also full. Consisting of IV parts. I Upon the Pentateuch, or five books of Moses. II Upon the historical part, from Joshua to Esther. III Upon Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Solomons Song.

Setting forth, The literall sense (according to the Hebrew) and therby correcting Translations where need requires, and clearing all obscure passages; reconciling differences, and diving into the mysteries: The further fetcht, and lesse usefull, being rejected; the divers Expositions of divers being examined; the best preferred, and others confuted; and where none satisfieth, new propounded.

Here are also many Observations for the use of edifying in Grace, all along inserted.

Being for all this, instar omnium, for the singular benefit of all that be studious of the Holy Scriptures.

Whereunto is added, A Continuation of the History of things most memorable (after NEHEMIAH his Principality) amongst the Jews, and the Monarchs of the world, till the time of our SAVIOURS Passion, and Ierusalems destruction.

Being both profitable for the understanding of divers Prophesies, and the manifold examples of Gods judgements occurring in those times, upon the notoriously wicked: And delightfull for the variety of matters.
