A Key to Open Scripture Metaphors, Publishers advertisement – Index to book 2

ADVERTISEMENT.

THere is a second Volume ready for the Press, which consisteth of two Parts.

The First opens, by way of Metaphor and Parallel, &c. about One hundred sixty eight Metaphors, Similes, Allegories, and other borrowed Terms, contained in the holy Scriptures, consisting of all the principal Metaphors, Similes, &c. that the Authors can meet with, under these ten Heads following.

1. Such as concern the Graces of the Spirit, and Ordinances of the Gospel.

2. Such as concern the holy Angels, and the Souls or Spirits of Men.

3. Such as respect the Church of God.

4. Such as concern, (1.) Man in general, (2.) Good Men, (3.) Wicked Men.

5. Such as concern the Ministers of the Gospel.

6. Such as respect Sin, wherein the odious Nature of Sin is largely opened.

7. Such as concern the Devil.

8. Such as concern the false Church, and false Teachers. Under which Head is most evidently shewed, that the Church of Rome is absolutely meant by the great Whore, Rev. 17. and the Papists Objections answered; which was expected in this Volume, but could not be put in without palpable Injury to both, by confounding the Heads, &c.

9. Such as concern Affliction and Providence.

10. Of the Life of Man, and the four last Things.

The Second Part elegantly opens and explains most of all the Types, and many Parables in the Holy Scripture; a Work much desired.

Both Parts will contain upwards of a Hundred Sheets, and will be printed by Subscriptions, viz. Four Shillings down, and four more when the Books are delivered in Quires; and those that subscribe for Six (as the usual way is) shall have one gratis, &c.

Had not the Authors found it impossible to contract the Work so, as to bring the whole into the Compass of One Hundred and Fifty Sheets, they would have handled some Things more concisely.
