Of the divine original, authority, self-evidencing light, and power of the Scriptures. With an answer to that enquiry, how we know the Scriptures to be the Word of God. Also a vindication of the purity and integrity of the Hebrew and Greek texts of the Old and New Testament; in some considerations on the prolegomena, & appendix to the late Biblia polyglotta.

Of all the Varieties that are found of this kind, that of two words, the same in sound but of most distinct significations, seems of the greatest importance; Namely [Greek or Hebrew] & [Greek or Hebrew] v. 14 or 15 times where [Greek or Hebrew] not, is in the Text; the margin notes [Greek or Hebrew] to him, or his, to be read. But yet though these seem Contrary one to the other, yet where ever this falls out, a sense agreeable to the Analogy of faith ariseth fairly from either word. As to give one or two instances: Psal: 100. verse 3. [Greek or Hebrew] he hath made us, and not we our selves, The Keri in the margin is [Greek or Hebrew] his, giving this sense; he hath made us, and his we are; The verb Substantive being included in the pronounce.

[Greek or Hebrew] in ⟨p. 301⟩their afflictions or straights, no straightness; So the [Greek or Hebrew] the [Greek or Hebrew] straightness or affliction was to him, or he was straightened or afflicted: In the first way, God signifieth that when they were in their outward straights, yet he was not straitened from their relief; in the other, that he had Compassion for them, was afflicted with them, which upon the matter is the same; And the like may be showed of the rest.
