ALLEN, NO. 15, Paternoster-Row; And Sold by all other Booksellers in the United Kingdom. [Entered at Stationers-Hall] This JUVENILE BIBLE, or TABLES OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURES, being a Metrical Index to the Old and New Testament, has with much Labour been compiled for the Edification of Youth. By means of this little Instructor, the reader is not only made acquainted with the chief Contents of every Chapter, but likewise with the number of chapters in every Book. This methodical arrangement is as follows: Every Book that exceeds five Chapters is divided into Stanzas, each Stanza, acrostic-like, beginning with A, B, C, &c. the Stanzas contain four lines each, and every line is a Chapter (except otherwise distinguished, as the Chapters are numbered in the margin by figures); thus B, beginning the second Stanza and fifth line, is the fifth Chapter, C the 9th, D the 13th, E the 17th, &c. as far as N, which is the 49th Chapter, no Book containing more than 52, except the PROPHECY of ISAIAH, which runs four letters more, O, P, Q, and R; likewise the Book of PSALMS, being 150, which are divided into three alphabets, not exceeding N, and containing 50 each. Those Books which do not exceed five chapters, viz. RUTH, LAMENTATIONS, JOEL, OBADIAH, &c. are without this method, which do not require it, and are consequently expressed in one Stanza, sometimes exceeding four lines. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
