Description
The Holy Bible, Containing the Old and New Testament, with the Apocrypha; explained with Short, Apt, and Instructive Notes, in a Method entirely different from all Modern Publications of the Sacred Book: and Cleared from that Variety of Opinions and Conjectures, many of which have no Support in the Scriptures; have been collected without Judgement; and serve more to disturb and confound, than to instruct, edify, and confirm the Reader in the Faith and Practice of a Christian.
