I lie greatness of the a,]vanta2:es that ; '1st accrue to a sincere and dilis-ent rea- .'! er of the Sacred Pa^es, troin liaviiiii: c.n- : •;!;;mtly before lam a reference to similar and illustrative passa^jes, carefully investi- g:ated. and suitably applied, must" be obvi- ! ous to every one; and has been well under- , stQud by many pious and able men, to I whose "dili?en"t and useful labours the Pubhc is unspeakably indebted. I References, however, have hitherto been printed, almost exclusiv^ely, in the marsrins of Bibles of a larrje size; and '-he benefit resulting: from them has. in , ironsequence. been verv much restrict- i "A; — the only small Bible with Refe- _; fences, in the English language, bem? that putjlished by -Mr. Canne I'^iie defects of which are many; for though he was a dilig^ent student of the Scriptures, and his work was at that time eminently service- ' able, yet, as he was not in possession '^f those helps, for the accomplishment of ■e task which he had undertaken, that are now aiforded by many valualrle editions and comments, whicli have been printed in diiferent lan^-ua2:es since his time; and beiu?, therefore, under the aecessity of relyms: chiefly on lus own industry; it is not surprising that he should have been less successful than he would otherwise have l)een. Hjs references are often only remotely applicable : he seems frequently to have been ?uided more by similarity of expression than by illustra- tion : the errors m the letter-press are numerous : many of the .Mardual Readings are omitted : the Ciirouology is altogether ieft out : and all the References in this, as in the larger Bibles, are placed m the mar- gin of the text ; by which they arerender- ^^.(\ liable to be cut in bind'in^, or worn --away by use, or bound io mto the back of Uie hook as nut to be easily read. On all these accounts, it has lon^ appear- ed exceedingly dtsirable that a new Bi- ble, of convenient size for the Pocket, ott- oinnt m lis plan, purpose, and execution should be published : in which a more ai'- PROPRlATE and ACCURATE Selection, ada/)- tation, and Arrangement of References might t>e mtrodnced ; borh for the Assistance of Private Readers, and to facihtate the ready : exaiiiiii;ition and qaotation of passages, ' «'hich the Preacher, or the Bibhcal Stu- dent, may have an immediate occasion to cite, or lo consult. Conrenience and utUity were, however^ . to be equally consulted m all the parts oi ! the undertaking. If ^he size of the book were too large, or tht paee too crowded, so as to be made wearisome to the eye. its convenience would i)e lessened; and if. in the liiniis which these consideratif)iis im- posed, great care were not employed in eiamiwwj and applying the References, its utility would m a great degree, be destroy- ed. On mature deliberation, therefore, it a[)peared best to adopt the plan here pre- sented to the notice of the Public, in which the Marginal Readings and Ilefe- , rences are all contained m a middle co- i LL'MN, between two of text ; and the num- I her introduced is sulhcienl. except in a few ' pa^es ouly.r'ompletelyto fill tliat column. ! The Chronology is always placed at the I top of this middle column, where it de- I notes the Date of the writing or transac- tion contained in the text, at the begin- ning of the pa2:e. I The -Marsrinal Readings contained in the folio and quarto Bibles are o//introduced ; the idiomsof the original languasres wuich are preserved m many of them, and also the various senses of particular words or phrases, being m most instances instrno- tive, and in all worthy to be known. But It has not been thought necessary, m liv- ing these readings, to insert such words as are repeated in the text, and wiiich wouU therefore have fruitlessly occupied a por- tion of tlie space allotted to references. The Various Readimfs are referred to by small figures placed immedraiely before the words for whicli they are to t:;e substituted; and the References by lalic letters, which are generally placed after thefiist or s'cond word of a verse, or clause of a ver.-.e, wnen they are intended to illustrate the PREFACE TO THE wholfl 01 '.hat verse or clause ; but when the pimcipal force of the illustration rests on a suujle xoonl, the letter reference jj" placed nniueiiiarely nfler tli it word. This has been the §:eneral rule , and the exceptions have either been unavoidable, or are quite iinmaterial. in referring; to several relations of the same facts. l)y different Writers ni the Sa- cred Volume, (as in the histories recorded by the Four Evangelists, and in those con- tained ill the Bjoks of Kings and Chroni- cles,) the corresponding chaplers. or parts 01 chapters m each, having been cnice noted at the beginning of the history or subject, it h. >■:>■; the blessings of Redemption ; to lead them : which were ' ■s.

And they built for Pharaoh treasure-cities, Pithora and h Raamses. 12 2 But the more they aflSicted Ihern, the more they multiphed and grew. And thev were grieved be- cause of the ctiildren of Israel. 13 iVnd the Egyptians made the ciiJidren of Israel to serve with rigour : 14 And they made their lives i bitter with hard bondage, in mor- lar, and ui briCk, k and in all man- uer of service in the field : all their gerv'ce, wlierein they made them serve, was with ngour./ 15 % And the king of Egypt spake tc the Hebrew midwives^fof which tbe name of the one was Shiphrak, and the name of the other Puah ;) 16 And he said, When ye do th« office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see t?iem upon th« stools, if it 6e a son, then ye shall kill him : but if it be a. daughter, then she shall hve. 17 But the mid wives feared m God. and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men-children auve. 18 And the king of Egypt called for the mid wives, and stmd unto them. Why have ye done rhis thmg, and have saved the nicn-children alive? 19 And the midwivos said unto » Pharaoh, Because tht* x^ebrew wo- men are not as the ligyptian wo- men; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the imdwives come m unto them, 20 Therefore God dealt weU o with the midwives : and -ne people mul- tiplied, and waxed very miglity. 21 And it came W pa^is, because the midwives feartKl God, that he p made them houscw. 22 And Pharaoh charges.5.15.
