always_o the_o work_n and_o labour_n of_o other_o go_v before_o have_v do_v wherefore_o christian_a reader_n i_o think_v good_a to_o acquaint_v you_o with_o such_o reason_n as_o move_v i_o to_o publish_v the_o same_o and_o to_o remove_v such_o objection_n as_o i_o conceive_v may_v be_v make_v against_o the_o same_o the_o first_o reason_n be_v because_o of_o all_o these_o error_n and_o

be_v the_o better_o instruct_v in_o the_o ground_n and_o principle_n of_o divinity_n and_o that_o the_o public_a catechise_n may_v be_v the_o more_o profitable_a it_o be_v necessary_a that_o people_n do_v acquaint_v themselves_o in_o private_a with_o such_o catechism_n as_o do_v most_o plain_o by_o the_o scripture_n set_v forth_o the_o ground_n and_o principle_n of_o religion_n and_o among_o the_o

public_a which_o will_v be_v to_o no_o small_a profit_n both_o to_o the_o minister_n and_o people_n second_o because_o i_o have_v observe_v by_o experience_n that_o the_o more_o minister_n contend_v against_o those_o error_n which_o do_v now_o so_o much_o abound_v either_o in_o their_o sermon_n or_o writing_n the_o more_o they_o spread_v abroad_o because_o such_o be_v the_o corruption_n of_o man_n nature_n through_o pride_n that_o the_o more_o he_o be_v oppose_v in_o those_o error_n which_o he_o mayntaine_v the_o more_o strong_o he_o labour_v to_o defend_v they_o &_o spread_v they_o

therefore_o i_o conceive_v that_o the_o best_a way_n both_o to_o suppress_v heresy_n and_o to_o maintain_v the_o peace_n and_o unity_n of_o the_o church_n be_v positive_o to_o maintain_v those_o ground_n of_o divinity_n which_o be_v establish_v and_o enjoin_v by_o public_a authority_n ground_v upon_o the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o one_o contrary_n will_v expel_v another_o when_o light_n come_v darkness_n be_v expel_v and_o so_o when_o the_o light_n of_o god_n word_n be_v clear_o set_v forth_o and_o shine_v in_o the_o church_n the_o darkness_n of_o popery_n and_o all_o other_o error_n will_v be_v daily_o expel_v like_v as_o it_o be_v with_o the_o philistian_o dagon_n when_o the_o ark_n be_v set_v up_o dagon_n fall_v to_o the_o ground_n of_o himself_o so_o when_o christ_n and_o his_o gospel_n be_v set_v up_o and_o maintain_v who_o be_v the_o true_a ark_n than_o dagon_n all_o false_a religion_n will_v fall_v down_o to_o the_o ground_n for_o nothing_o so_o much_o overthrow_v satan_n

they_o be_v both_o concern_v the_o same_o ground_n but_o however_o in_o this_o one_o thing_n it_o be_v different_a from_o all_o the_o catechism_n that_o ever_o i_o yet_o see_v namely_o in_o the_o manner_n of_o prove_v the_o ground_n for_o in_o all_o ordinary_a catechism_n the_o place_n of_o scripture_n be_v only_o quote_v to_o prove_v the_o ground_n by_o reason_n where_o of_o people_n that_o be_v not_o acquaint_v with_o the_o scripture_n know_v not_o whether_o those_o ground_n be_v agreeable_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n or_o no_o and_o to_o turn_v to_o every_o proof_n be_v such_o a_o
