I has been judg'd by feveral, that a continu'd HiStory of our Blefssed Saviour in order of Time, wholly in the Words of the Scripture, would be of greater

use to the more ordinary fort of Readers, than Harmonies of the Evangelists. Because that those who are not very conversant in Books, are rather confounded, than help'd, by the several Collumns and Breaks, which are necessary in fuch a Work.

Such a History as here abovemention'd, the Reader will find in the following Sheets ; divided only into Sections, according to the different Passages, and Acts, of our Saviour.

The Evangelist, Chapter, and Verse, out of which the History is tranfcrib'd; is noted all along in the outward Margin. And whenever there is occafion to change from one Evangelift to another, there is a Star [*] put ta shew where the change comes in; and the Evangelist, Chapter and Verse, is set over against that Verse in the outward Margin.

When the same Fact, or any Circumstances concerning our Saviour, is related by more than one, or all the Four Evangelists; if any have a mind to turn to their Bibles, to see how the same things are express'd by the other Evangelists, they are refer'd by a small Letter as [*][*] &c. to the inward Margin, where they will find the Evangelist, Chapter, and Verse noted.

The

The Age of our Saviour, and Year of his Ministry, is express'd all along at the top of the inward Margin; and the place of action (as far as it could be known) is fet always in the outward Margin.

There is also here and there, Notes, for the Explanation of Some Words, and Customs, as for Example in Sect. II. Course of Abia.

There is annex'd a Map of the Countrys through which our Saviour travell'd; and the Places, and Towns are named the Same as in the Gospels.

It has been necessary sometimes the better to join the Sense to add a Word, as [and] [be] and such like, but the Reader will see it makes no alteration as to the true meaning of those places, and that he may the more readily observe it, those Words are always put between two Hooks, and in the Italick Character.
