frontlets] Little plates, or pieces of parchment worn up on the forehead, called Phylacteries, according to the Greek, Matthew 23:56. from a word signifying to keepe, or preserve, that is, in memorie: for though they could not see betwixt their owne eyes, they might see in each others foreheads, that which should remember them of Gods deliverance of them: their right use was memorative, which (afterwards) was turned into supersitious preservatives against the power of sinne.
