a_o explication_n of_o the_o creed_n the_o ten_o commandment_n and_o the_o lord_n prayer_n with_o the_o addition_n of_o some_o form_n of_o prayer_n by_o john_n rawlet_n minister_n of_o t●●_n gospel_n

the_o reader_n it_o may_v just_o appear_v ridiculous_a to_o make_v a_o large_a preface_n to_o this_o little_a paper_n the_o design_n of_o it_o be_v easy_o know_v at_o the_o first_o sight_n to_o render_v the_o chief_a head_n of_o our_o religion_n plain_a and_o easy_a to_o the_o young_a and_o ignorant_a and_o this_o i_o hope_v be_v a_o attempt_n of_o that_o nature_n as_o need_v no_o great_a apology_n except_o on_o this_o account_n that_o it_o come_v after_o there_o have_v be_v so_o much_o do_v to_o the_o same_o purpose_n already_o and_o that_o so_o sufficient_o as_o may_v seem_v to_o render_v all_o future_a undertake_n of_o this_o nature_n whole_o needless_a but_o to_o this_o let_v it_o suffice_v to_o answer_v that_o what_o i_o have_v here_o draw_v up_o be_v intend_v for_o my_o own_o private_a use_n for_o which_o i_o can_v not_o find_v any_o of_o those_o exposition_n i_o light_v on_o though_o otherwise_o in_o their_o kind_n very_o excellent_a and_o to_o some_o of_o which_o i_o have_v be_v much_o behold_v in_o all_o circumstance_n so_o suit_v as_o i_o desire_v and_o they_o moreover_o for_o who_o sake_n this_o be_v chief_o design_v have_v not_o those_o other_o help_n of_o this_o nature_n at_o hand_n nor_o can_v i_o so_o easy_o procure_v the_o same_o for_o they_o as_o i_o can_v this_o what_o be_v here_o do_v be_v in_o subserviency_n to_o that_o catechism_n which_o our_o church_n recommend_v to_o the_o young_a sort_n that_o by_o a_o plain_a and_o full_a explication_n of_o the_o principle_n contain_v in_o it_o the_o use_n thereof_o may_v be_v render_v more_o profitable_a to_o the_o learner_n and_o for_o this_o i_o have_v the_o judgement_n and_o authority_n of_o the_o right_a reverend_n my_o diocesan_n encourage_v i_o hereto_o that_o none_o may_v accuse_v i_o of_o boldness_n in_o this_o undertake_n some_o perhaps_o may_v wonder_v that_o i_o observe_v no_o more_o proportion_n in_o explicate_v the_o article_n of_o the_o creed_n whilst_o i_o be_o so_o large_a on_o some_o and_o on_o other_o very_o brief_a but_o for_o this_o i_o think_v i_o have_v sufficient_a reason_n when_o i_o consider_v that_o about_o some_o of_o they_o as_o particular_o that_o of_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n there_o have_v be_v many_o hot_a dispute_n and_o some_o dangerous_a mistake_n of_o which_o there_o be_v still_o some_o popular_a book_n and_o sermon_n too_o full_a notwithstanding_o all_o the_o endeavour_n of_o many_o excellent_a divine_n for_o their_o removal_n that_o which_o i_o have_v herein_o sincere_o aim_v at_o be_v only_o to_o represent_v the_o gospel_n in_o its_o native_a plainness_n and_o simplicity_n that_o the_o text_n may_v not_o be_v spoil_v by_o a_o dark_a comment_n as_o too_o oft_o it_o be_v whilst_o easy_a and_o obvious_a truth_n be_v obscure_v with_o hard_a word_n and_o with_o such_o subtle_a notion_n and_o distinction_n that_o if_o the_o salvation_n of_o common_a people_n lie_v upon_o the_o understanding_n of_o they_o their_o case_n be_v hard_o in_o the_o explication_n of_o some_o other_o article_n as_o especial_o that_o of_o the_o catholic_n church_n i_o have_v consult_v the_o particular_a necessity_n and_o danger_n of_o that_o people_n among_o who_o at_o present_a the_o providence_n of_o god_n have_v cast_v my_o lot_n and_o to_o this_o i_o be_v the_o rather_o incline_v as_o find_v not_o long_o since_o in_o some_o of_o their_o hand_n a_o exposition_n of_o the_o creed_n by_o a_o popish_a author_n wherein_o he_o endeavour_v though_o with_o miserable_a success_n to_o shelter_v some_o of_o the_o prime_a novelty_n and_o falsehood_n of_o popery_n under_o the_o article_n of_o the_o common_a christian_n faith_n and_o under_o that_o head_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n will_v fain_o persuade_v we_o that_o the_o roman_a church_n and_o the_o catholic_n be_v of_o equal_a signification_n and_o extent_n in_o order_n whereto_o with_o their_o usual_a cunning_n he_o jumble_v i_o can_v tell_v how_o many_o thing_n

afterward_o give_v of_o atrue_a catholic_n christian_n that_o he_o be_v one_o who_o sincere_o believe_v the_o doctrine_n and_o obey_v the_o precept_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o far_o more_o

if_o scripture_n and_o reason_n may_v be_v of_o any_o force_n in_o the_o dispute_n than_o it_o plain_o appear_v that_o all_o their_o loud_a talk_n about_o the_o infallibility_n of_o the_o church_n the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n no_o salvation_n be_v to_o be_v have_v out_o of_o the_o church_n etc._n etc._n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o empty_a noise_n and_o a_o company_n of_o quaker_n or_o
