The humble Motion of Christian Ravis
the hebrew Lecturer;
That Some who are well skilled in the hebrew &other Orientall tongues, able also to expresse themselves in this English tongue to the full, may be encouraged, &set a part, to ioyne in the examinacion of all the various interpretacions of the hebrew text; to shew the true &proper meaning of every doubtfull word &phraze according to the property &fullnes of that tongue; that not only the true interpretacion of every place may be known; but also the true reason therof understood
1 This would be a great help for all that study the Orientall tongues, to come speedily to the perfection thereof;
2 To be eased, of buying, &reading many Interpreters
3 To be able without interpreters to make use of the text it selfe
4 To reconcile doubtfull &contradictory places in appearance
5 To prevent &correct many scruples, errors, &mistakes; whence many disputes, &some heresies are growne; which scandalize the Papists; Iewes, &Turks, &keep them from embracing Christianity
6 To maintaine the Authority &Credit of the Divinity of the holy Scriptures against the Objectcions of Atheists, &Scoffers of Religion;
7 To inable those that are Conscionable, Zealous, &Studious of the Truth, to deale more effectually with all Adversaryes &to satisfy their owne Iudgments in the sense of the Scriptures;
