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 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 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 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 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.
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. 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 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〈…〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉ſhalom ſhalom, all peace and happineſs, not onely now, but eſpecially for ever hereafter, I ſhall endeavour to approve my felf,
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 (〈…〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉) viz. Giver or Impoſer of names; hence he called the firſt Mans name〈…〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉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〈…〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉Adam, he was red) quod (〈…〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉meadamat haaretz) i. ex terra rubra illum creavit Deus. i. becauſe God formed him of the 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:〈…〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉Chavah, i. living; and he gives the reaſon of it in the ſame place, namely, in Gen: 3.20. becauſe ſhe was the mother (〈…〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉Kol Chai) i. of all living. Were it not for the impoſition of Names, the world would be a〈…〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉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〈…〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, which Plato derives〈…〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, 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〈…〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉ſhem, which as ſome think comes from the root〈…〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉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,〈…〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉lebilti ſhim leiſhi ſhem, i. by not 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. 〈…〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉ſhem, a name, is alſo often by Interpreters tranſlated famous and renowned; ſo in Gen. 6.4. it is ſaid, which were〈…〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉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.
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, 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〈…〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉which ſignifies Diviſion, from〈…〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉in pihel,〈…〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉pilleg, i. he divided, for in his daies (as the text ſaies) the earth (〈…〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉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 (〈…〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉Menaſhſheh) which ſignifies forgetting (from〈…〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉naſhah, he was forgetfull) for he ſaid (〈…〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉naſhſhani) God hath made me forget all my labours, and Fathers 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〈…〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉Ephraim, that is, fruitfull, (from〈…〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉parah, he was fruitfull) for Joſeph ſaid (〈…〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉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, 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, (〈…〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉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 (〈…〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉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 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
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 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.

The Fable points at ſuch Fools as have no more foreſight in them than this doltiſh Midas is feigned to have.

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 from126 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.

Therefore Abigail, ſpeaking to David of his folly, ſaith thus, 1 Sam. 25. v. 25. (〈…〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉128Nabal ſhemo unebulah gnimmo) i.

Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.
EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.
EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).
The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.
Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.
Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.
Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.
The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.
Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).
Keying and markup guidelines are available at the Text Creation Partnership web site.
