To the Reader.

Christian Reader,

ALthough there be many Vo­lumes flying abroad in the World (to what good purpose many of them tends, they can best tell who have experimen­tally perused their profit) yet I do aver, that this small Manual can do more to thee (in its kind) then any, or most of them all. For 1. (Though I am onely able to call thee by thy general name, Christian, and to suppose or wish thee (as I wish my self) to be what that name bespeaks, that is, really cordial, and sincere in Christianity, yet) it can call thee by that very name by which thou hast been called since thy Baptism. And 2. it can tell thee (that which perhaps thou never hither­to couldst tell thy self, nor thy Parents before thee, who gave it unto thee, viz.) what that name of thine doth import and signifie; to the end thou mayst shun it, if evil, and follow it, if good. 3. It can set also before thee the names of all thy Friends and Acquaintance, [...] Male or Female) and make thee able to [Page] judge whether they walk worthy of their names, or not: 4. It can reckon up unto thee the names of all the Patriarchs, and Holy Men mentioned in the Scriptures; and so mind thee of them as patterns, to imitate their Virtues. 5. Lastly, it can set all those names (and many more, even all the used names of Christians) with their significations in order before thee, that so, if either thou dost already, or hopest to enjoy the blessing of that condition which carrieth in it the capacity of building thy name, and the name of thy Family, by the names of the Children coming out of thy loyns; thou mayst then make choyce of them all, and pitch upon some of the best, by which to mind thy follow­ing generation, of their obedience to God, and duties to Men, bespoken so clearly in the names by thee imposed upon them.

And here, the truth is, I cannot but open­ly bemoan and lament what I have often and much resented in my thoughts; to wit; that most irrational custome crept in upon the Christian World, of using so much those Hea­thenish and Paganish names entertained a­mongst us; (especially since we know not well their meaning, nor what they did import in the Language of our Ancestors; for in our own, most of them do signifie nothing but flat nonsense, as to most of us) leaving and lay­ing aside those most significant Scriptural [Page] names imposed upon Children of old by their holy Parents, to put them in mind of the waies they should walk in, all along their life in the daies of their Pilgrimage; I say, that although in the times of (our Ancestors) ignorance, God may be said to have winked at this (as at many other things in them, and in those dark times:) yet now, when know­ledge doth (begin to) abound, and to fill and cover the Earth, as the Waters do the Seas; and when the original words of God, and the names contained in them, do (begin to) fall under our clearer knowledge; That Christians, forsaking those pure Fountains of Shiloh, should content themselves with those impure Streams of Atheism, viz. the names of people living without God in the world, and without the true knowledge of him, is no less than a reproach to Christianity; yea not onely so, but an intolerable and irrational ab­surdity, when we know not certainly what those Heathenish names do import and signi­fie: for what? is it not a shame for any ra­tional man to speak nonsense, that is, to speak any one word (like a Parrat) which he doth not know what it meaneth? what a shame then is it (not onely for Christian, but even) for rational Parents, to impose upon their Children names (of nonsense (to them) which they do not understand themselves what they mean; and so to call them, and make them [Page] to be called all their life long by names which they know not; is not this to call them (whom they love best) and they know not what? I profess, I do think that the very thought of this, may have such sharp reflecti­ons upon those who cannot help it, having thus named their Children already, that I do therefore forbear to speak any thing more of it here, having spoken thus much, to prevent the disease in them who have not, as yet, past the remedy. And thus far for the little work it self ensuing; now for the Author of it. I shall onely speak a few words, and that by way of encouragement to all young Gentle­men, in his, or the like condition, viz. to all Apprentices, or others; who although they have not wholly given themselves to be Scho­lars, yet they do not desire to spend their va­cant hours from their other chosen employ­ments, in idleness; I say, for the encourage­ment of all, or any such, I would onely shew them, that the Youth, who is the Author of this Manual, about three years ago, did leave the Grammar School, and shortly after did come to be an Apprentice in London; about which time, his genius leading him to industry about his Book, although he had left the Schools, he did at spare hours from his undertaken employment, make a collection of those Christian names, and their significati­ons, in so far as the Greek or Latin Langua­ges [Page] could lead him: But finding that many of the most pretious Scriptural names had their Original from the Hebrew, he was very desirous to wait for an opportunity to be in­structed in the grounds of that first and chief of Languages. Wherefore about eight or ten months ago, he, with another young Gen­tleman, an intimate acquaintance of his, of the same condition with him, the Author of the first Versed Lines following (who from the same disposition of abhorring idleness, after he left the Schools, did become like­wise desirous of knowledge in the Hebrew Tongue) hearing of some facile way to make a progress in the knowledge of that Language; did come to me, and in the space of six or eight weeks, thrice in the week, being with me for an hour at a time, and sometimes two, were such Proficients in their studies, that afterwards they both needed me no more to perfect them; and the Author hereof, with­in two or three months after, had transcribed this Copy, deriving from his own knowiedge all the names that were originally Hebrew, from their own proper roots; and so did make it, as it is now put in thy hand, ready for the Press; which (as) I am very hopefull that it shall be usefull and profitable, upon several considerations, unto the Perusers of it, so I shall be alwaies ready, to my power, to encou­rage all who shall have serious thoughts this way.

To his worthy and much re­spected Master, Mr. Robert Bax­ter, Citizen and Grocer of London.

SIR,

THat I might shun that mon­strous Vice, which before God and Man is account­ed most Hatefull, in which (as Tully saith) is contain­ed all Wickedness, name­ly, Ingratitude; and that which when the Persians, Macedonians, or Athenians found that any man was guilty of, they condemned him to death by their Law; so odious and abominable was it unto them; and hence the saying is, Ingrato homine nil pejus, and Si ingratum dixeris, omnia dixeris. Therefore, Sir, I that have in no small measure tasted of your good­ness and clemency, as in many other things, so in countenancing this small Work of mine (for not onely the Foun­dation thereof hath been layed) but the whole Structure thereof hath been rear­ed, in my (as yet) so short being with you. [Page] And fearing that as soon as it shall ap­pear to the publick view, it may need some favourable aspect over it, to shelter it abroad in the World, from evil and ma­levolent eyes, I hope, Sir, it will not be offensive, that I do pitch upon your worth and virtue for that effect; since I offer it as a testimony of my heart (and not onely eye) service unto you. As also, Sir, seeing that you do very well know, how that Mens inoccupata mox evadit corrupta, sicut deses aqua, the Mind unoccupied will quickly be corrupted, even as standing water sooner corrupts and purrifies, than that which hath its course to run with a full Current; and that hence Seneca, that Christian-like Pagan (as one of the Fa­thers term'd him) saies, In mille facinorum furias mens otiosa discurrit, the Mind that is idle, or unoccupied, runs into a thou­sand villanies; and that that of Cicero is most true, Nihil agendo homines meleagere discunt, by doing nothing, Men learn to do evil; Idleness (as St. Bernard saith) is the sink and receptacle of all filth. Therefore, Sir, setting before me, as a pattern, your own industrious virtue, I do hereafter alwaies resolve (God willing) to remember that saying, Non minus est virtus, quam quaerere parta tueri, it is no less a virtue to keep than to get; and [Page] there is no way to keep (the little) things gotten, and to get a little more, but by diligent practice; for hence our Proverb is, Solus usus facit Artifices. These Ex­pressions, Sir, and the thoughts they flow from, arising from the experience of your humane Ingenuity, I am confident shall not displease you; as I also am very hope­full that you will not refuse to accept of these my present weak endeavours in this Work, and the publishing of it, after your name prefixed unto it, considering it doth proceed from a gratefull mind. And therefore, Sir, praying and wishing you [...] shalom shalom, all peace and happiness, not onely now, but especially for ever hereafter, I shall en­deavour to approve my felf,

Sir,
Your faithfull Servant, Edward Lyford.

The Preface to the Reader.

THis small Treatise (Christian and Courteous Reader) of the Interpretations or Ety­mologies of Christian names, which by Divine Assistance is brought to this conclusion, I suppose needs no large Apologie; Especially if thou lookest on the pleasure, profit, nay absolute necessity of the imposition of names, and of knowing their Interpretations or Ety­mologies. For the first, consider, that the im­position, or giving of names, was not barely (as some impertinently think) of humane in­vention, for God himself was the first ( [...]) viz. Giver or Imposer of names; hence he called the first Mans name [...] Adam (from the substance or mat­ter whereof he was made) i. earthly Man, or Man made, as it were, of the red earth, (for the root is [...] Adam, he was red) quod ( [...] meada­mat haaretz) i. ex terra rubra illum crea­vit Deus. i. because God formed him of the [Page] reddish earth, Gen: 2.7. hence also Adam, not without divine instinct, called the name of his wife (which was the first woman) Eve, in the Hebr: [...] Chavah, i. living; and he gives the reason of it in the same place, namely, in Gen: 3.20. because she was the mother ( [...] Kol Chai) i. of all living. Were it not for the imposition of Names, the world would be a [...] Babel, or a Confusion; how should we be distinguisht one from another, but by our Certain Names? hence a name in Latin is nomen, as it were notimen, i. a mark, from the verb nosco, to know, quod nomi­nibus dignoscamur, i. because men are known by their names; and there cannot be a surer mark to know one from another, than their Name; In the Greek it is [...], which Plato derives [...], ab inqui­rendo ente, i. from looking into the being and continuance of any thing: but without Names this could not be done; in the He­brew it is [...] shem, which as some think comes from the root [...] shum, posuit, i. he put, as if a name were positum, a thing put to distinguish between one and another; hence the woman of Tekoah, (be­ing suborned by Joab) in a parable speaks thus to David, So shall they quench my Coal which is left, [...] lebilti shim leishi shem, i. by not [Page] putting a name to my Husband, see 2 Sam. 14.7. that is (as we render it) and shall not leave to my Husband neither name, &c. where it is implyed, that names are of absolute necessity, not onely to the up­holding of a mans family, but also to the keeping of things in order and union, for God is the God of order, and not con­fusion; and therefore in Gen. 2.19. God is said to bring every Beast of the Field, and Fowl of the Air unto Adam, to see what he would call them (taking delight, as it were, not onely to see Adam name them, but also to see every thing in order) and whatsoever Adam called every living Creature, that was the name thereof. [...] shem, a name, is also often by In­terpreters translated famous and renowned; so in Gen. 6.4. it is said, which were [...] Anshe hashshem, i. viri nominis) i. men of Name, which we translate, men of renown, or famous men; for by our names, our actions of fame or in­famy, of praise or dispraise, are upheld to the following ages; whereas, if there were no names, there could be no remembrance or upholding of them; how should a man up­hold or remember the deeds of those men that have no names? indeed he knows not whom, or what to remember.

[...]

[Page]As for the knowing the Etymologies of names, I think it as usefull, as the for­mer is necessary; would it not be a great encouragement and enducement to all youth, when they know the sweet (for so I account it) Etymologies of their happy and hopefull names, to make them walk answerable thereunto, that they may be found worthy thereof? If a youth be nobly descended (as men term it) then perhaps his name may in­duce him to be humble and meek; if de­scended of a meaner stock, it may encourage him even to exceed himself in actions of virtue. And here, Reader, we might not onely lament the sinfull blindness of the for­mer age (in which the right names of most of the holy men named in the Scripture, have been brought into obscurity and oblivi­on, and now seem strange unto us) but also blame the wilfull forgetfulness, or rather ne­glect of this Age (to which there's none, (that ever was) comparable, for its Mul­titudes of by professors of Religion in words, but few Confessers of their own weaknesses, or (at least) few Actors of that which they do profess in deeds) in not imitating the examples of so many godly Patrons and Ma­trons in the Scriptures (yea God himself (if I mistake not) and hence he changed Abram his name (i. an high Father) to Abraham, [Page] i. a Father of great multitudes, because of his promise; for the Lord said, Gen. 17.5. A Father of many Nations have I made thee. Hence also he called Solomons name Jedidiah, i. beloved of the Lord, for it is said, 2 Sam. 12.24. the Lord loved him, &c.) who thought it needfull and requisite (else surely they would not have done it) to give their Children such names, whose In­terpretations or Etymologies were suitable to the estate and condition they were in, when they named them; that so when they should for the future remember this, they might glo­rifie and praise the Lord, and think on his benefits. And hence we find Eber in Gen. 10.25. named his son Peleg [...] which signifies Division, from [...] in pihel, [...] pilleg, i. he divided, for in his daies (as the text saies) the earth ( [...] n [...]ph­legah) was divided; and this name his Father gave him, from the general estate and condition they then were in. Now for more particular, Joseph (who was a holy and just man, in the sight of the Lord) when he was in Egypt, begat two Sons, the name of the first he called Manasses ( [...] Menash­sheh) which signifies forgetting (from [...] nashah, he was forgetfull) for he said ( [...] nashshani) God hath made me forget all my labours, and Fathers [Page] house, Gen. 41. v. 51. and this name he gave him from the particular and present estate was then in; for those troubles and labours wherein his soul was wrapt up in, (as his being cast into Prison, his Brethrens cruelty to sell him into a strange Land from his Fathers house) through the length of time, was by him almost forgotten, and therefore he named his son Manasses; the name of the second he called [...] Ephraim, that is, fruitfull, (from [...] parah, he was fruitfull) for Joseph said ( [...] hi­phrani) God hath made me fruitfull in the Land of my affliction, see Gen. 41. 51, 52.

I should be too prolix if I should here shew thee how Leah and Rachel gave their sons the Patriarks such names, whose Interpretations or Etymologies were sutable to each of their particular and present estates and conditions they were in when they named them, Gen. 29.31. to the end; and how Jacob their Father, in blessing them, doth paraphrase on those Interpretations or Etymologies, Gen. 49. v. 3. to v. 22. see their names in the Book it self according to their proper places in th [...] Alphabet.

I wish therefore, that all Christians wer [...] more seriously exhorted, not so much to us [...] those Barbarous and strange names, as Saxon, [Page] Sabin and German names, which are now introduced amongst us; but rather, that as we are Christians, so we would use such names that become Christians (I mean) those Scripture names, whose Interpretations and Etymologies might be sutable to our se­veral estates and conditions.

Moreover, the consideration of our names, if seriously pondered, should lead all of us, as often as we shall hear of them, to think on our beginning, medium, and end. The first, (because our names were given us at our beginning to be in the World, and at our first entrance into the visible Church by Baptism) will make us to confess with the Psalmist, Psal. 119.73. thy hands have made me, ( [...] vojechonenuni) i. filled and prepared me) that God is our Creator (see Psal. 71.6. Jer. 43.7.) And if so, then as the Wise Man saies, Eccl. 12.1. he is to be remembred in the daies ( [...] be­chrotenu) i. of our choyce, that is, in the daies of our youth, for youth is tempus se­lectum, a choyce time, and no time better to remember our Creator in, yea it is a time cho­sen for that purpose; he gave us our first being, and shall we not give him our first service? The second should pu [...] us in mind of all those benefits and mercies w [...] God hath been pleased to bestow upon us all the [Page] time we have been called on by such a name; and the thought of the last, namely, of our end, ought to admonish us, why we had such a name in the World, viz. that we may please and serve him, by faith and obedience to his Commands, during all the time that we shall enjoy such a name to the end, when we shall have a new name written in a white Stone for Eternity given to us.

And further (Christian Reader) by a blessing from above, which I do not onely (but desire thee also to) pray and wait for, this Manual may be no small help unto thee (as to me it hath been) for thy understanding of some (yea many) places of Scripture in which these names occur more fully and clearly than be­fore; and hoping that it shall be so, I bid thee farewell, and wish thee as much plea­sure and profit in reading this, as he had in composing it; who is

Thine to serve thee, Edward Lyford.

A Postscript to the Preface.

FOR directions in the use of this Book, there is need of little to be said that way, the Book it self for the Names, and the Tables for their significations, being both Alphabetical; so that any may ea­sily in the Book seek for any name, and there see its signification, and Etymologi­cal derivation; or in the Tables any may seek out, and make choyce of any signi­fication that pleaseth them best, and ac­cordingly may make use of the name that hath such a signification (for which pur­pose especially the Tables were painfully and dil [...]gently composed) alwaies prefer­ring Scriptural Names, and the choyce of them, before Saxon or German names, &c. which we can scarce be able to know what they mean. More than this, there is very little to advertise the Reader of; Ex­cept it be that German, Saxon, Sabin, French, Latin, and Greek derivations of names, are for brevity written and im­ported thus; Ge or Ger. for German, Sa. for Saxon or Sabin, Fr. for French, La. for Latin, and Gr. for Greek; to [Page] shew that the names are such and such Originally.

And that this mark. i. is put for i. e. id est, that is; or for viz. videlic [...]t, to wit, &c. which any intelligent Reader might have conjectured of himself: Onely thus far further the Readers are to be desired, that if as yet they have learned nothing of the Hebrew, they may consult the He­brew Grammar and Dictionary lately published, and sold where this Book is to be sold.

[...] To his much respected and intimate Friend, Edward Lyford, Fellow-Student in the Holy Tongue, upon his Etymological Ana­lysis of Christian names.

THe times are prone to mutability,
And with these times so mutable are we,
That Times, and we, do cross that stream most pure,
Which gave those names that now be­come obscure.
From God most holy, to an holy end,
In th' holy tongue, our names did first de­scend:
But now disguised with so much Cor­ruption,
They seem estranged from their first con­struction.
But, Friend, thou hast in this thy little Book,
Worthy all praise, a labour undertook,
[Page]To stop those Cataracts, through which might run
Our primitives to base Oblivion.
For what can be more pleasing to a man,
Then th' Allegory of his name to scan?
To antient purity thou dost restore
Our names, as they first breath'd in time of yore;
Which with such order are inserted here,
And each ones derivation made so clear,
That whosoe're shall doubt his names descent,
In any part o'th' Christian Continent,
Hebrew, Chaldean, also that Jews be,
Jehova's people once, each one by thee,
Our faithfull'st Etymologer, from hence
May truly know, both what's his name, and whence.
Tempora mutantur nos, nostraque nomina. Edward Probee.

To his Quondam Pupil, Edward Lyford, on his Book of the Etymo­logies of Mens and Womens Names.

NO spurious off-spring is thy Book,
Men know it by his Fathers look.
He that henceforth shall know thy name,
Will doubtless with me say the same,
Confessing that Edward Lyford,
Blessed Keeper, doth life afford.
For names, whose meaning was not known,
And dead (as it were) are now shown,
And laid up to be kept in store,
By this blest Keeper evermore.
Henceforth th [...] Ignorant shall know
What name he had best to bestow
On's Son or Daughter, and not fear
The mockage of the common jear:
His Sons he may call Sans Abuse
Nathanjah, Gods gift Th'odorus;
His Daughter eke, without disgrace,
He may call Hannah, Charis, Grace:
So may, Lyford, thy name long live,
As thou the truth of names dost give.

This great name Jehovah also compre­hends in it self the three He­brew [Page 93] tenses, as here [...] hajah, hoveh, jihjeh; hajah, [...] i. he was, it is the praeter tense, signifying time past; [...] ho­veh, the participle Benoni, which the Hebrews use for the present tense, signifying he who is, or one being; and jihjeh, [...] i. he shall be; it is the fu­ture tense, signifying time to come.

This is the name of that Arch-Devil, or fained Morning-star, mention­ed in Isa. 14. v. 12. as before, which in the Hebrew is written [...] helel, and signifies the same as Lucifer; for it is in the conjugat: hiph. which signifies, he made to shine, from the root [...] halal, he was mad; and the Greek Version renders it, (not amiss) [...], ibid. and hence is that saying, Phosphere redde diem—

381 Lucius, Rom. 16. v. 21. so called (à prima luce) from the morning light, because he was then born. Lat.

415 Michael, [...] i. who is like the strong God? of [...] Mi quis, who? and [...] caph, a note of similitude, as, like as, &c. and [...] El, God (the strong God:) Some observe, that the names of Angels are wont to end in ( [...]) El, as Gabriel, Dan. 10. v. 13.

416 Midas, as it were [...], i. not seeing, or one that is blind, not perceiving, foreseeing, [Page 123] knowing or considering, of [...], not, and [...], to see, &c. perhaps a name given him from the E­vent; for the Poets fain, that Midas having entertained the Gods, they promised to grant him what he should ask for his Reward; he requested of them, that whatsoever he touched, (not any thing excepted) might be turned into Gold; having turned a great many Houses in­to Gold (as they say) he came to eat his Meat, and turned that into Gold also, so that he was like to famish for his Golden desire. The Fable points at such Fools as have no more foresight in them than this dol­tish Midas is feigned to have.

417. Midian, [...] as it were [Page 124] [...] i. contention, or strife, from [...] to strive or contend, [...] mem in the beginning is an heemantick letter. Genes. 25. v. 2.

418 Moab, [...], as it were [...] i. of or from a Father, of [...] mem, which being put before a word, signifies of or from, and [...] Ab, a Father, see Abba: But the Septuagint express it thus, And she called his name Moab, ( [...]) saying, he is of, or from my Father, Gen. 19. v. 37.

423 Moses, [...] Mosheh, i. drawn out, from [...] Mashah, he drew out; And Pharaoh's Daughter called his name Mo­sheh, because, said she, ( [...] Mashi tihu) i. I have drawn him out of the Waters, Exod. 2.10. Josephus in his Jewish Antiqui­ties, lib. 2. cap. 5.9. gives an­other Etymologie of this name, for he sayes he was called Moy­ses, because he was saved from [Page 126] the waters in which he was cast; for (as he writes) they call the waters of Egypt, Mo: in their tongue, and yses signifies saved, as it were saved from the wa­ters. Indeed it is very likely that Pharaoh's Daughter spake the Egyptian, and not purely the Hebrew Tongue. But the thing it self, and the sense, ren­ders it almost alike.

N.

424 NAaman, [...] Nag­naman, Gen. 46.21. i. fair, pleasant, beautifull, from [...] nagnam, he was pleasant.

425 Naariah, [...] Nagna­riah, 1 Chron. 3. v. 22. i. the [Page 127] Child of the Lord, of nagnar, [...] a Child, from [...] nagnar, he shook off; for a Child or Infant is as it were (excussus ex utero materno) shaken out from the Mothers belly.

426 Nabal, [...] i. a Fool, a wicked and ungratious Fel­low, from [...] he fell, failed; perished, or decayed, properly of the withering of Flowers; so that the word [...] Nabal, signifies one, in whom Reason, right Wit, Understanding, and the Mind (which is the highest and chiefest part of the Soul) doth fall into utter decay, wi­thers, and perisheth. Therefore Abigail, speaking to David of his folly, saith thus, 1 Sam. 25. v. 25. ( [...] [Page 128] Nabal shemo unebulah gnimmo) i. Nabal (or one whose reason and judgement hath failed him) is his name, and folly is with him. Hence also some derive the Latin word Nebulo, a foolish Knave.

(a) Nadab, [...] 1 King. 15.25. as if it were [...] Nadib, i. a Prince, or liberal, from [...] na­dab, he gave freely.

With mighty wrestlings have I wrestled with my Sister, and have prevailed, Gen. 30. v. 8. therefore she called his name Naphtali.

(c) Nimrod, [...] Gen. 10. v. 8. i. a Rebel, from [...] ma­rad, he rebelled; [...] nun at the beginning is heemantick. It is judiciously observed by some, that this Nimrod was a Rebel to God, and used such Tyran­nie [Page 133] and Oppression, that it came into a Proverb, namely, that he was mighty in the Earth. See Gen. 10. v. 8.

443 Noah, [...] Noach, i. rest, from the root [...] Nuach, to rest, in hiphil [...] Henich, he made to rest; For doubtless Lemech (who was the Father of Noah) foreseeing what his Son Noah should be, gave him this name from the effect, saying, ( Gen. 5. v. 29. [...] Jenacha­menu) he shall comfort us, i. he shall afford us rest, namely, from the cruelty of those Giants wherewith the first Age was oppressed, Gen. 6. v. 4. hence comes [...], nox, and nuit, the night, for the night is appoint­ed for rest.

448 Olympas, Rom. 16.15. [...] is heavenly, from [...], Olympus, a high Mountain in Thessalia, as it were [...], i. totus lucens, i. shining all o­ver, because they say the top of it can never be obscured with the Clouds, and hence by a me­taphor it is put for Heaven.

469 Patroclus, it may be [...], i. the glory or ho­nour of (his) Father, of [...], a Father, which some derive from the Heb: [...] Ab, by mutation of Letters; for where the He­brews put [...] beth, the Graecians put [...] pi, being of the same sound almost; and [...] is the termina­tion that is put to the noun; and [...], glory, honour, or re­nown, from [...], claudo, to shut.

470 Paul, i. little, low, or humble, from Paulus, Lat. [Page 141] some take it to be the same with [...] Gen. 46.9. Phallu, i. wonderfull, from [...] in ni­phil, [...] Niphla, to be wonderfull, and indeed by him the wonderfull (but excellent) things of the Gospel was prea­ched. This name was given him from the event, for it was chan­ged from Saul to Paul. So A­bram was called Abraham, from the effect, Gen. 17. v. 5. Hence Jacob was called Israel, for his strength, Gen. 32. v. 28. So Si­mon was called Kephas by Christ, 1 Joh. v. 42.

471 Peleg, [...] i. division, from [...] in pihel, [...] pilleg, he divided, for in his daies ( [...] niphlegah) the earth was divided, Gen. 10. ver. 25. [Page 142] [...] Peleg also signifies a River, Psal. 1. v. 3. as it were the di­viding of the Fountain into Streams; hence comes the word Pelagus, the Sea.

473 Pedah-zur, [...] Pe­dah tzur, Numb. 10. v. 10. i. a strong, mighty, or puissant Redeemer, or Redemption, a Redeemer abiding danger more stronger than the Rock, of Pa­dah, as before, and [...] he op­pressed, or straitned, hence [...] tzor, a Rock. This name should belong to none but Christ, who is our ( [...] Pedah tzur) [Page 143] mighty, strong, and invincible Redeemer, for he it is (alone) that hath trodden the Wine­press of Gods wrath, his might was so great.

(a) Penuel, [...] 1 Chron. 4. v. 4. i. seeing God, as some, or, as others, the sight of God, from [...] panah, he beheld, and [...] El, God, from [...] ejal, strength.

(b) Philologus, [...], Rom. 16. v. 15. i. a Lover of Learn­ing, of [...], a Friend, and [...], Learning, from praet: med: [...]. Or else it may be a Lover of the Word, or of Christ, who is the Word ( Joh. 1. v. 1.) for [...] also signifies a Word.

Now as St. Augu­stine writes in his Tract on Matthew, The Church is found­ed, or built (super petram) on a Rock, and hence Peter, or [...], a Stone, from petra, a Rock, Non autem à petro petra; This name was given him from the event by our Saviour, for in that Matth. 16. ver. 15. Jesus having asked his Disciples who he was, Peter answers in the 16 [Page 146] verse, [...], i. Thou art Christ (i. the Anointed) the Son of the living God; and in the 18 verse Christ saies, Upon this Rock, not (su­per hunc Petrum) upon this Peter, but upon this faith of Pe­ter, will I build my Church.

479 Pharoah, [...] Pareg­noh, i. a Revenger, from [...] parang, he revenged. Josephus in his Book of Jewish Antiqui­ties, lib. 8. cap. 2. writes thus; ‘The name of Pharoah signi­fies as much as King with the Egyptians: But I think they had other names from their Childhood; but being made Kings, they were called Pha­roahs: so the Kings of Alex­andria were Ptolemies, of [Page 147] Rome Caesars.’ So far Jose­phus. And now the Kings of Portugal are called Don Johns.

480 Pharez, [...] Paretz, i. a breach, from [...] paratz, he broke forth, or made a breach; so called, because he broke forth out of his Mothers womb be­fore his Brother Zarach, who put forth his hand first; for the Midwife said ( [...] mah paretzta gnalecha pa­retz) How hast thou broken forth? this breach be upon thee, Gen. 38.29.

481 Pharisaeus, i. a Pharisee, some derive it from [...] parash, he expounded, explained, or o­pened, because the Pharisees were Expositors of the Law; others from niphil [...] niph­rsah, [Page 148] he was scattered, or sepa­rated, or from [...] he divided, because they were separated from others by a more religious life; hence St. Paul in Acts 26. ver. 5. After the most straitest sect of my Religion I lived a Pharisee.

482 Philadelphus, [...], i. Brotherly love, but rather one that is endued with Bro­therly love, of [...], i. a Friend, and [...], a Brother, which is compounded of α alpha, which comes from [...], i. simul, toge­ther, and [...], i. uterus, the womb, because Brothers were in one womb.

490 Philoxenus, [...], i. a Lover of Strangers, of [...], a Stranger; also [...] signifies one given to Hospitality, 2 Tim. 3. v. 2. for in Heb. 13. v. 2. it is, Be not forgetfull ( [...]) of entertaining of Strangers. How many are willingly for­getfull of this now adaies? And 1 Pet. 4. v. 9. [...], i. Use Hospitality one to­wards another; but when will the Rich be ( [...]) [Page 151] and use Hospitality towards the Poor: For now their word is, Charity begins at home.

491 Phlegon, [...], Rom. 16. v. 14. i. burning, from [...], to burn.

492 Phoebus, [...], i. Sol, i. the Sun, as it were [...], of [...], i. Lux, Light, and [...], Vita, i. Life, that is, Lux vitae, i. the light of life; for the Sun in the Spring time (in which he re­turns to us) causeth all things to flourish, wax green, and as it were makes them to revive; and so instrumentally is that Light which causeth Life; or else it may come from [...], purgo, i. to purge, clense, &c. for in the time of the Suns a­bode with us, which is in the [Page 152] Summer, the Air is purged and clensed from all thick mists and foggs, and made serene and clear; others from [...], inusitat. [...], gradior, to go, because the Sun shines in going his circuit in the Heavens.

514 Rhese, or Rhesa, Luk. 3. ver. 27. perhaps a Giant, Ge. from Rhesus King of Thrace, of a Giant-like stature; others de­rive it from [...] rasas, he sprin­kled, or dropped, and contract­ed, it is [...] ras; hence comes the Latine word Ros, the Dew.

In the 28 verse ( [...] hu shaul lai hovah) he shall be lent to the Lord. Shaul is the particip: pahul, from shaal, in Salathiel; in kal it signifies, he asked, but in hiph: he lent; so in the beginning of that 28 v. Therfore also ( [...] hishiltihu) have I lent him to the Lord. viz. him that I re­ceived of God by prayer, now again do I consecrate to God, to be his Servant and Minister; [...] signifi: from, and [...] El, God, from ejal, strength. This name Samuel may also referr to another Etymolog. as it were ( [...] Shamuang el) i.

God hath heard; also ap­pointed of God, of [...] i. he put, or appointed.

527 Saul, [...] Shaul, i. ask­ed, from Shaal, as above.

533 Seth [...] Sheth, i. one [Page 165] put or appointed; so called by Eve, because he was put in the room of his Brother Habel, Gen. 4. v. 25.

(d) Shiloh, [...] Gen. 49. ver. 10. one of the glorious names of Christ the Messias, manifesting him to be the only Author of our eternal welfare, peace, and happiness, and our alone Peace-maker, for it signi­fies a Saviour, blessed, happy, peaceable, or a Peace-maker, from [...] shalah, he was safe, [Page 168] happy, quiet, or in peace; and hence it is said, that the cha­stisement of our peace was upon him, Isa. 53. v. 5. yet some of the Rabbins do dissent from this exposition of the word, as Aben Ezra, R. Salom, R. Be­chai, and others, and say it is the same as [...] beno, i. his Son; But we know that all the Jews deny that Christ the Messias is come, and therefore their ex­position is little to be regarded.

Mamma, Uber, i. a Breast, or Dugge, qu: mammeus, i. plentifull or a­bundant, for he gives us all things plentifully; but R. Sa­lom, and most of the Hebrew Doctors, compose the word of the particle [...] she, the middle letter of [...] Asher, signifying which, or he which, and the primitive word [...] dai, All-sufficient, or All-sufficien­cy, i. he who is sufficient, or all-sufficient ( [...]) in himself, or [Page 194] he who is sufficient, or all-sufficiency in himself, neither standeth he in need of any thing; And all we (his Crea­tures) have every good thing that we enjoy out of this in­exhausted Fountain, 2 Cor. 3. v. 5.

Additions to the first Book.

PAg. 34. lin. 2. &c. Adde to the name Barjesus, Or else as it were [...] barjeshang, i. the son of salvation, of [...] bar, Chald. a son, and [...] jeshang, salvation; see the root p. 9. l. 5. Adde also to the name Bartimaeus, p. 35. l. 7. Jerome saith it should be written Barsemeus, which in the Syriack signifies a blind son, or the son of blindness, and that he was so called because he was born blind, see Mark 10. v. 46. Pag. 168. l. 4. &c. Yea some of the Rabbies do not dissent from this exposition of the word; and others, as Aben Ezra, R. Bechai, &c. say it is the same as [...] beno, i. his son, which exposition is not lightly to be re­garded (for they acknowledge the place to be spoken of the Messias) although the Jews generally do de­ny that our Christ is the Messiah that was to come. See Buxtorfius Lexicon, pag. 812. Basileae. 45.
