Riassunto

Excerpt from A Complete Concordance to the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament, or a Dictionary and Alphabetical Index to the Bible: Very Useful to All Christians Who Seriously Read and Study the Inspired Writings

Thus it appears that we have had Concordances to the bible some centuries ago; and the world has been so sensible of their usefulness, that many of them have been composed and published in different languages But as there are several in our language, it may be inquired, What occasioned my undertaking this great and laborious work, or what advantage it has above any other hitherto published?

When I first began this work, I designed to compose an useful Concordance in Octavo but after I had printed several specimens I found it necessary to alter my scheme, and to compile one to be printed in this large volume, in order to make those improvements which now render it preferable to any other.

The method is easy and regular, and each text of Scripture is generally contained in one line, whereby the reader may readily find the place he wants, if he remembers any material word. When there are two or more texts of Scripture that are parallel, I have generally mentioned the first that occurs in order in the bible, and have directly added the parallel texts. It is printed with a good letter, though pretty small, which was necessary in order to bring it into this volume, and make it contain multum in parvo, much in a little compass; and great care has been taken that the figures referring to the chapters and verses of the bible be exact and correct When a text is marked with a it denotes a marginal reading.
