PRINCIPAL TEXTS OF SCRIPTURE
ARE PARTICULARLY ILLUSTRATED OR EXPLAINED.
Such Texts as are cited merely by way of proof, are designedly omitted, that
this Index may not be unnecessarily enlarged.
1 From the multiplicity of objects which claimed the author's attention in con-
ducting so large a work through the press, he found it impossible to compile the
present Index of Texts cited and illustrated. It has been confided to a literary
gentleman, who has devoted much time and attention to it; and it is hoped that
this index will be found both correct and useful.
