A Brief MEMORIAL OF THE BIBLE: OR, A SUMMARY OF The Chief Matters contained in every Chapter of the Old and New Testament.  
Done into Metre for the Help of Memory, BY J. C. M. A.  
LONDON, Printed by J. Astwood for Thomas Parkhurst, at the Bible and Three Crowns at the lower end of Cheapside, near Mercers-Chappel. 1688.   

TO THE READER.  
THe Use and End of this Metrical Epitome, being only to help thy Memory in retaining and calling to Mind the matters contained in the several Chapters of the Old and New Testament, aught in all Justice to be a sufficient Apology for the Faults of its Poetry: For it is impossible, within the compass of one single Verse or Line, to express with equal perspicuity or smoothness the Contents of Chapters, so unequal both in length and variety.  
In the Historical Part, I am bold to hope that there is not much Pretermitted; but the Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and many Chapters in the Prophets, consisting of various and unconnected Sentences, are no way reducible to any one certain Head; and therefore I held myself contented to  them by some remarkable Sentence in them, and have added in the Margin the Numerals of the Verses where such Sentences are to be found.  
Upon the whole, if it may pass for an Essay, and excite others to do it better; and in the mean time be subservient to Piety, in promoting the Knowledge and Practice of the Holy Scriptures, too much neglected and forgotten in this Sinful Age, I shall have my End.
