A BRIEF TABLE OF THE IN­ 
TERPRETATION OF THE PROPRE NAMES
which are chiefly founde in the olde Testament, whe­
rein the first nomber signifieth the chapter: the se­
conde the verse.


WHereas the wickednes of time, and the blindnes of the former age hathe bene suche that
all things altogether haue bene abused and corrupted, so that the very right names of di­
uerse of the holie men named in the Scriptures haue bene forgotten, and now seme strange vnto vs,
and the names of infants that shulde euer haue some godlie aduertisements in them, and shulde be
memorials and markes of the children of God receiued into his housholde, hathe bene hereby also
changed and made the signes and badges of idolatrie and heathenish impietie, we haue now set
forthe this table of the names that be moste vsed in the olde Testament with their interpretations,
as the Ebrewe importeth, partly to call backe the godlie from that abuse, when they shal know the true
names of the godlie fathers, & what they signifie, that their children now named after them may
haue testimonies by their very names, that they are within that faithful familie that in all their
doings had euer God before their eyes, and that they are bounde by these their names to serue God
from their infancie & haue occasion to praise him for his workes wroght in them & their fathers:
but chiefly to restore the names to their integritie, whereby many places of the Scriptures and se­
cret mysteries of the holie Gost shal better be vnderstand. We haue medled rarely with the Greke
names, because their interpretation is vncerteine, & many of them are corrupted from their original, as
we may also se these Ebrewe names set in the margent of this table, which haue bene corrupted by
the Grecians. Now for the other Ebrewe names that are not here interpretate, let not the diligent
reader be careful: for he shal finde them in places moste conuenient amongs the annotations; at least
so many as may seme to make for any edification, and vnderstanding of the Ftaking
Scriptures.
