demean_v themselves_o in_o this_o duty_n three_o who_o must_v be_v catechize_v and_o how_o they_o must_v carry_v themselves_o in_o it_o first_o of_o the_o first_o of_o these_o concern_v the_o form_n of_o catechise_v to_o be_v use_v observe_v these_o four_o rule_n 1._o the_o matter_n head_n and_o ground_n of_o catechise_v be_v contain_v and_o express_v in_o scripture_n and_o therefore_o always_o the_o same_o but_o the_o form_n be_v not_o but_o leave_v to_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o church_n and_o therefore_o variable_a so_o as_o that_o we_o be_v not_o so_o precise_o tie_v to_o the_o form_n as_o we_o be_v to_o the_o matter_n 2._o such_o form_n be_v most_o fit_v as_o may_v be_v find_v to_o tend_v most_o to_o the_o edification_n of_o the_o church_n in_o confirm_v they_o in_o the_o truth_n and_o principle_n most_o oppose_v in_o which_o respect_n the_o church_n have_v take_v liberty_n to_o vary_v 3._o it_o be_v very_o expedient_a and_o profitable_a that_o there_o be_v in_o the_o church_n two_o form_n of_o catechism_n a_o short_a and_o more_o easy_a for_o the_o young_a sort_n which_o be_v not_o yet_o able_a to_o learn_v and_o commit_v to_o memory_n a_o large_a and_o a_o large_a wherein_o for_o the_o ripe_a sort_n the_o principle_n of_o religion_n be_v more_o full_o handle_v 4._o every_o form_n use_v must_v be_v find_v brief_a plain_a orderly_o and_o by_o way_n of_o question_n and_o answer_v easy_a for_o that_o this_o form_n of_o teach_v be_v most_o expedient_a as_o by_o way_n of_o question_n and_o answer_v first_o it_o be_v most_o suitable_a to_o the_o rude_a and_o ignorant_a infant_n capacity_n by_o put_v word_n into_o their_o mouth_n help_v they_o to_o answer_v and_o understand_v when_o they_o see_v the_o question_n propound_v and_o answer_v to_o be_v

under_o his_o ministry_n and_o to_o confirm_v they_o in_o the_o faith_n in_o opposition_n to_o the_o common_a fame_n of_o the_o world_n who_o say_v you_o that_o i_o be_o four_o as_o that_o which_o
