A specimen of the translation is given in the Appendix.

At the end of the copy in my possession are bound up "Proposals "for the publication of the work by "subscription," 7 pages. The Psalms are divided into five books; the second beginning with Ps. 42; the third, with Ps. 73; the fourth, with Ps. 90; the fifth, with Ps. 107. Each psalm is followed by illustrations; in which the Septuagint, Syriac, Arabic, Latin Vulgate, Spanish, and Italian versions, the Christian Fathers, the Jewish Rabbis, and a variety of 12o. 8o. 8°. 12o. 12o. modern commentators are constantly quoted. The forty-first verse of Psalm 18 has been accidentally omitted by the printer: a fly-leaf in my copy gives, in a contemporary hand, the following translation of it: "They made a grievous cry, but "then a Saviour there was none : "To the Eternal God, but He || did "not then answer them. " Upon the latter part of verse 43 of the same Psalm, namely, the words, "the people whom I have not known]] "shall be my servants now. ||" there is this note: " Hope for Americans! "Our Saviour, as man, had seen and "known Asians, Africans, Euro 66 peans." The name of the translator [Cotton Mather?] no where appears throughout the book. P. S.
