That is, A Dictionarie declaring the originall and derivations, of all words used in any Latine Authors, with the reason of their derivations and appellations; neuer any in this kinde extant before; the quantities of syllables, as also the differences of those words, whose affinitie in signification or otherwise, might cause a promiscuous and improper vse; the pure and improper words gathered into one Dictionarie, and distinguished by this marke: ?. Wherevnto besides the hard and most vsefull words in Divinitie, Philosophie, Physicke, and Logicke, are added many thousand other words out of approved authours old and new, with their Greeke in more exactnesse then ever was in Calepine, Morelius, or any other: and also the coines, measures, weights, and Greeke Rootes, none of which are extant in any Edition formerly published. Herevnto is also annexed the proper names adorned with their Etymologies, illustrated, and explained, with Histories, Proverbes, Mythologies, &c. together with the Chronologie of the persons, and the beginning of noted Citties, and plantation of sundry Countries, the Geography, and the names both ancient and new of the most remarkable places.
