A sermon preached April, 8. 1635 At a visitation at Brentvvood in Essex. By Alexander Read, Doctor of Divinitie, late fellow of Pembroke-Hall in Cambridge, now Parson of Fifield in Essex.
He borrowes the Greeke word NONLATINALPHABET, and joynes it with the Hebrew preposion NONLATINALPHABET in steed of NONLATINALPHABET, — NONLATINALPHABET in order, in steed of NONLATINALPHABET according to Order. But the sence being the same I will inquire no further into the words, I come to the matter.
