tion In Scripture, 1; it can be known by its

According as subject matter or words are taken as guides, an index approaches on one
1
hand to a mere summarv, on the other, to a concordance. But there are already two summaries,
one in the Introduction," and the other in the side-notes: and to write a complete concordance
would be useless and impossible. I have endeavoured therefore, to restrain the scope of this
Index chiefly to what is most interesting and strikes most. Quotations from the Fathers being
very numerous, I have taken especial pains with them; not however always repealing the referem ,
it the same quotation occurs several times.
