THE HOLY BIBLE, Containing the Old and New 9407055 TESTAMENTS, Newly Tranflated our of the gently Compared and With Marginal Notes, SHEWING ..T. 2:794 Aalto A The Scripture to the best Interpreter of Scripture. LONDO W Printed by Charles Bill, and the Executrix of homas Excellent Majefty. Anno Dom. 1698. 6964-65/168 Bayerische München, Tis a Truth acknowledged by all, of all perfuafions, viz. THE SCRIP I 1. Such is the Fuiners and Perfection of the holy Scripture, as it hath enough, and fufficiency in it felf for the explanation and opening the fence. and meaning of it. II. That this Explanation and Opening of Scripture by Scripture,is attaina. be; and (by Gods blefling) may be done, and with fuch fulness of matter, and clearness to the truth of the fence, as there will be little need for other Interpreters; much lefs for men to impofe their private Interpretations and bold Glofles upon the Text. III. I do not know any way whereby the word of God (as to the Alajesty, Authority, Truth, Perfections &c. of it) can be more honored and held forth: and the Adverfaries o it (of all forts) fo thoromy convinced, and fenced, as to have the Scripture to be its own Interpreter. This I am fure did men in their Expofitions on the Scriptures fpeak lefs them felves, and the S.ripture: more, the Scripture would have more honours and thenfe es lefs. IV. That the genuine and proper fignification of the original words be truly opened, and explained: for this is of great ufe and furtherance to the work I mention. V. The doubts and feeming differences be carefully heeded, and by Parallel Scriptures reconciled. VI. That fome words which are in the original Tongues left untranflated be tranflated, and their fignification opened, For how foever fuch words to fome may seem unfruit ful and afford not much matter in the letter yet according to the manifold wifdem of God, (and as the fpiritual man judgeth) there is an excellent meanin, of the Spirit in them. Laftly, The original particles are to be minded and special notice taken of them, as athing of great concernment, to fhew the Connexion of the Text and Context. There are other particulars befides thefe, to have an exact and full SCRIPTURE. INTERPRETER, but I fhall refer them to another time, and place more proper. What I bave done concerning this works the thing it felf will fhew when it cometh forth: and therefore I will say nothing of it more or less: but only as Chrift faid of the woman, I have done what I could. Something I will freak of the Reafons and Grounds whereby I have been encouraged in this kind of labor I The sweetness and great content which I have had all along in this Scripture work, bath caused me to account other fludies and readings (which I formerly used) very low in comparison of it. Is it faid of Jacob, that he ferved feven years for Rachel, and they feemed but a few days for the love he had to her. I can truly freak it, I have ferved the Lord in this work more than thrice feven years, and the time hath not feemed long, neither bath the work been any way a burden to me, for the love I have bad to it. But II. That which hath more encouraged me, hath been a perfuafion and good hope, that many will have much foul good, and fpiritual comfort by it. For 1. Some people will be the more willing and forward to read and fearch the Scriptares; having by them a guide and help: as when they meet with any place which is dark and they understand it not then by direction to fome other Text of Scripture immediately to be informed and fatisfied, without looking into Commentaries which it may be they have not. 2. A Scripture Interpreter will encourage men to exercife themJelves in the meditation and ftudy of the Scriptures: as when a man hath a light carried before bim, he goeth more cheerfully, then if he were in the dark, and groped for bis way. 3. By this means not only the knowledge of God and his truth will grow and inTease: but the Scriptures will be unto people more familiar and more their own (as I may (ay) than they were before: for those things which we hear from others, or have out of Books usually foon come, and foon gone: whereas fuch truths as are gotten by our own fearching the Scriptures (the Lord giving a bleffing to it) do abide and continue with u. 4. Seeing it is the Spirit of God, that inlivens and breathes in the Scriptures, where can we expect the prefence of this good Spirit, if not in the fearch and meditation of the Scriptures? I speak not to the derogation of Commentators and other works of godly men: yet this I fay, we making our prayer to the only wife God, may expect the pouring out of the Spirit, as to be guided into the truth of the fence of the Scriptures in reading and fludying them, more than in reading other Books. 5. That the Scriptures every where, are fo much neglected fo little honoured and regarded amon men, one reafon is, their ignorance of them: to have therefore this ignorance removed, and the word of God loved and delighted in; there can not be (as I bmbly conceive) a better way and meanes than a Scripture felf-Interpreter. 6. It is not the Scripture that leadeth men into errours and by-wayes, but the misInterpretations, and falfe Gloffes impofed upon its as when men by perverting tim To the Reader. Scripture to their on principles and purposes will make them freak their fence, and private interpretation. Laying therefore afide mens interpretations, and only follo wing the Scripture interpreting it felf, it must needs be the best way and freeft from ETTOTS. つまる But III. That which hath most encouraged me is the honour and glory of God: which I hope and defire will redound to his holy Name by. And therefore whosoever hall reap any benefit either by this, or what followeth, beg of bim for Chrifts fake that "Be give pratfe unto God alone. For conclufion. Thefe Scripture-References, they are FEW to thefe I could bave produced. But I have made it a great part of my work to comprise much in a little room, and therefore have viewed over all my larger Notes, and with my own hand from the beginning to the end, verfe after verfe, have chefen the most principal and proper Texts fo far as the margin could contain. Besides I have used what care and diligence I could, to avoyd all mistakes in the Notes, and to bang them placed in a right and due order. Moreover (Reader) I intend God affifting with health and life, to fet forth an Edition of the Bible in a large and fair character, withlarge annotations (a work, I have been many years upon) and to make what freed I can. But the work will be heavy and require care and time. For Ipurpose therein to fet forth all that I have done concerning a Scripture Interpreter: Whether I shall live to fee it finished, God only knows: how foever it is ready and prepared for the prefs: fo that if the Lord take me away before it be published, what remains of the Copy unprinted I shall leave in fuch bands as will (I doubt not) be borb carfull and faithfull in accomplishing my intentions; which that it may be to the glory of God, and good of his people every where is my earnest prayer.
