The people prepared by the remembrance of Mercies and Promises. Of their washing their clothes. Not a Baptism of standing use. Bounds set unto the Mount. In what sense it might be touched: Heb. 12.21. How the Offender was to be punished. [Greek or Hebrew] opened. The station and order of the people in receiving of the Law. The ministry of Angels in the preparations for God's glorious presence. How the People met God, and God them. When Moses used those words, I exceedingly fear and quake.

There are in the Epistle unto the Hebrews, either direct discourses concerning, § 1 or occasional mention is made of all, or at least the most important things in the whole Mosaical Economy, and state of the Church and Worship of God therein under the Old Testament. Yea, there is nothing material from the call of Abraham, unto the utmost issue of God's dispensations towards his posterity, that is omitted by him. And if we have not a previous acquaintance with these things, which he supposed in them to whom he wrote, much darkness and many mistakes must needs attend us in the consideration of what he treateth on, and the ends which he proposeth unto himself. Now because it will no way be expedient, every time the mention of them doth occur, or allusion is made unto them, to insist upon them as first instituted. I thought meet in the close of these Prolegomena, to present the Reader with a brief Scheme and delineation of the whole Mosaical Economy; as also of those other previous concernments of the Church in the posterity of Abraham, which by the Apostle in this Epistle we are called and directed unto. And they are these that follow.
