A PROFITABLE And well Grounded Concordance Both fitted for the meanest Capacity and very useful for general good Wherein may be readily found the chiefest Words contained in the Scriptures Also the chiefest Doctrinal Heads of Scripture opened and illustrated both by Reason and Argument Being a Subject of the most useful nature yet Extant By the industrious Labours of W. Chadwell John 5.39 Search the Scriptures Psal 19.7 The Testimony of the Lord is sure making wise the simple LONDON Printed by G. Dawson for Francis Smith at the Elephant and Castle near Temple-Barr 1660. Mr. Denne in Commendation of this Book THis Concordance will pleasure the poor who are not able and the rich who many times are not willing to be at so much cost as will purchase those of greater value I am confident it will be helpful to the Ignorant and useful to the Learned who will not disdain to take it into their hands The Author never saluted the University Schools layes no claim to the Title of Master or Doctor makes not his boast of the knowledge of the seven Sciences neither is he skil'd in any save his Mother Tongue but is counted among the number of those whom the World counts Unlearned yet surely he seems to have learned the Holy Scriptures and the things of God which is the best Learning it appears he hath not spent his vacant hours in idleness or more vain occupations but in frequent Meditation and reading of the holy Word of God so often tracing the walks of Gods Garden that he is able to shew you in what Bed every Flower groweth This his painful industry will judge the greatest number of men especially those whose trade it is to search into the Secrets of the Word and have nothing else to do but to give attendance unto Reading and yet read nothing less than the holy Scriptures which is the reason they are so great strangers to the Words of God and to Truth it self I did once hear a great Rabbi in the University deny that there were any such words in the New-Testament as these If Jesus had given them rest then would he not after have spoken of another day Heb. 4.8 I could fill a sheet with Stories in this kind I was once present before a Committee of men of great wealth and repute within Trinity Colledge Cambridge where the Chair-man denied that there was any Text of Scripture that spake of the Baptisme of Women he that affirmed demanded of the rest of the Gownmen whether none of them had ever read of Women Baptised all being silent a Bible was required and the 8. of the Acts and the 16. of the Acts laid before them they then confessed they had never observed it before Is it not a vanity of vanities for men to read a multitude of Books and to neglect the great Book The Author of this Concordance seemeth to have walked in the best path to the best Learning I confess when the Book was brought unto me and I had conferred with the Author I could not without admiration remember what is written 1 Cor. 1.26 27. You see your calling brethren and the like I could not without blushing look upon the Book considering with my self what a Learned man once spake of old Indocti rapiant caelum c. which at better leisure I translated into this Distich Unlearned men do find the path to Heaven When Schollars miss the way who claim Arts seven From Rosemary Lane Aug. 7. 1659. Hen. Denne FRIENDS WE have taken a veiw of this Concordance and we cannot but judge according to our understanding that it will be of more use than any of the like Volumn or price now in being and will be a great help unto such who desire to be acquainted with the holy Scriptures which is a thing of great use especially in these our dayes we cannot but judge that the Author hath taken great pains in bringing of it into this order and also loss of time and charge and therefore we hope that none who fear the Lord and desire to make his Law their Rule to walk by will slight it although the Instrument from whom it come be of little esteem in the World but rather to accept of it and give glory to him that hath given such wisdom to poor Creatures And whereas he hath enlarged himself upon many things as Faith and Fear and the like we shall say little to it the Scriptures are proof sufficient and therefore it needs none to speak for it much less such as we are but for as much as it is impossible in these our dayes that any thing can be put out to publick view but it will meet with opposition let it be never so sound therefore it cannot be expected that this will go free from censures but if any that fear God or desire so to do may be benefited by it it is no matter what such say who are apt to carp at any thing which that it may so profit shall be the desires of us who shall be ready to serve you in what we can in the Lord Jesus Christ Farewel Thomas Perrot Christopher Miles Mr. Harrison in Approbation of this Book I Have as my time and opportunity would permit cursorily perused this brief Concordance wherein I find many principal Doctrines of the Gospel opened and confirmed several practical Truths deduced and applyed and all this from variety of Scripture proofs which though I had not leisure particularly to examine yet so far as I can judge by a suddain glance I conceive are pernitent and concluding and therefore do commend the pious and sober endeavours diligence and pains of the Author a person altogether unknown to me but by this his Labours in contributing his Mite to help forward weak Christians in finding out the mind of God in the Scriptures especially in such a day as this wherein so much precious time is wasted and so much innocent paper blotted to vilifie debase and overthrow the authority of Gods holy Word and to introduce senseless prophane and cunningly devised Fables of brain-sick Apostates into the room thereof hoping it may by the blessing of God prove some furtherance to the Faith and Piety of such who shall make tryal of it September 5. 1659. Edward Harrison To the Churches of Christ Jesus who are called to be Saints and are built upon the sure Foundation and wait upon God in his own way contending earnestly for that Faith which was once delivered to the Saints IT hath been and yet is the way and manner of men to Dedicate and shrowd their Works under the Wings of some Honourable Persons here on Earth not considering the saying of Solomon Eccles 4.13 Better is a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish King And also Prov. 28.6 Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness than he that is perverse in his wayes though he be rich But through the goodness of God I see and know you to

be the Persons who are the Objects of Gods Honour Psal 91.15 John 12.26 For you are the Sons Daughters of the great God the Brethren of Christ Partakers of the Holy Spirit and Heirs of a most glorious Kingdome And therefore to you I commend this small Treatise hoping it will be profitable and of great use unto many who desire to be Studients in the meaning of their Heavenly Fathers Will which that it may shall be the hearty desires of him who is A lover of all those who in sincerity wait for the Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ WILLIAM CHADWELL The Occasion of this Treatise IT hath been in all Ages and yet is the manner of Gods dealing with the sons of men to reveal his truth and to give wisdome and knowledge into such as are despised in the Worlds eye amongst which number the Lord hath been pleased to give some Testimony of the goodness of his Grace towards me and knowing it was not good to hide my Talent in a Napkin Also remembring a passage concerning four Lepers who when the Famine was sore in Samaria by reason it was besiedged by the Assyrians and knowing of they staid in the City they should die with Famine and if they went out they could but die so they ventured out into the Camp of the Assyrians who when they came contrary to their expectation found their enemies fled and gone and had left abundance of Wealth and Victuals behind them so these four Lepers did eat and drink and took plenty of Silver and Gold and hid it but remembring that their Brethren and friends wanted within the City and they had enough They said one to another we do not well this day is a day of good tydings and we hold our peace if we tarry until the morning light some mischief will come unto us now therfore come that we may go tell the Kings houshold 2 Kings 7.9 From whence we may note that it is not good for those who have been made partakers of mercy to hide it from their Brethren but to declare it that they may be partakers with them and therefore I having in my mind purposed to compose a brief Concordance for private use but shewing some of the Copy unto several Friends of mine they solicited and encouraged me not to let it lie hid but to have it Printed for others use as well as mine and indeed considering some other Reasons which are as follow induced me unto it 1. Because the great Concordances are so volumnious that they tire the Reader 2. Men cannot carry them about them 3. The price is so great that hundreds of People cannot attain them 4. They at the best do but direct to find the Word not the sense of the Word which many do not understand but in this little Treatise you have both the way to find the choisest Words and the sense of the chiefest Heads besides which shall afterward be shewed And therefore whoever thou art that readest this Book and art profited by it give the glory to him who is the giver of Wisdome unto all and so I Remain A Well-wisher both of Soul and Body of all those that seek the prosperity of Zion WILL. CHADWELL Directions to find the use of this CONCORDANCE Courteous Reader BE pleased to take notice that this Concordance though but small containeth as much as if it were larger I studied brevity I could have made it larger but for those reasons before shewed I abridged it and yet nothing which is very useful is left out neither for whereas many Concordances are stored with many Words which are not needful as for example the word Aaron David and Saul and abundance more which are not so needful as others and likewise those words which are useful are so clouded with impertinent Scripture which causeth those Concordances to be so large but in this Treatise the choifest words are onely quoted and the choifest Scriptures to those words Now to shew you the use of this Concordance it is as followeth the Book is placed Alphabetical as A. B. C. D. E. and the like now if you would find any word of note mind the first and second Letter in the word and then look on the top of the page and when you see those two Letters there you may then soon have your desire as for example if you would find the word Baptisme or Barren or any word which begins with B A look in the second Letter of the Book on the top of that page where you see B A you will soon have your desire if you would have the word Blind or Blood then look B L and so of all the rest if you would consider something about the Fear of God then look in F for F E if you desire the word Faith then look F A or if you would find Repentance look in R for R E or if you would find Watching or Waiting upon God then look in W for W A if you would find Wisdome then look W I and so of all the rest and although there is not a Line to every Scripture with the word at length which would have made the Book volumnious yet there is such divisions that you may find the sense of any Scriptures in short time Thus leaving the Reader who faithfully improves the Talent given him unto the blessing of God and the Book unto the rugged waves of mens censures I remain A Friend to all so far as they are the Truths Will.
