a_o circular_a letter_n to_o the_o clergy_n of_o mary-land_n subsequent_a to_o the_o late_a visitation_n reverend_n brethren_n i_o can_v reflect_v upon_o the_o good_a order_n of_o your_o conference_n and_o the_o unanimity_n in_o your_o resolve_n at_o your_o late_a visitation_n without_o the_o great_a esteem_n of_o and_o affection_n towards_o you_o and_o so_o happy_a a_o beginning_n give_v i_o good_a ground_n to_o hope_v the_o best_a thing_n from_o you_o the_o truth_n of_o it_o be_v when_o i_o sit_v down_o and_o consider_v the_o several_a particular_a method_n of_o ministerial_a instruction_n which_o you_o do_v then_o so_o cheerful_o come_v into_o i_o be_o not_o able_a upon_o the_o most_o mature_a deliberation_n to_o conceive_v what_o can_v be_v far_o want_v on_o your_o part_n to_o render_v the_o people_n commit_v to_o your_o charge_n full_o edify_v in_o all_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n but_o the_o put_v the_o measure_n then_o resolve_v upon_o vigorous_o into_o execution_n both_o as_o to_o catechise_v preach_a and_o private_a exhortation_n and_o admonition_n now_o the_o first_o of_o your_o resolution_n refer_v to_o catechise_v a_o part_n of_o your_o ministry_n so_o exceed_o necessary_a in_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n especial_o in_o a_o age_n so_o loose_a in_o its_o principle_n as_o we_o be_v that_o enough_o can_v never_o be_v say_v to_o inculcate_v that_o matter_n upon_o you_o but_o i_o forbear_v here_o have_v so_o large_o speak_v to_o it_o in_o my_o visitation_n charge_n however_o there_o be_v one_o consideration_n of_o such_o peculiar_a force_n to_o yourselves_o in_o maryland_n that_o i_o must_v needs_o remind_v you_o thereof_o to_o invigorate_v you_o in_o that_o work_n though_o i_o know_v the_o word_n themselves_o be_v so_o emphatical_a and_o the_o occasion_n of_o they_o must_v be_v so_o fresh_a in_o your_o mind_n that_o it_o will_v not_o be_v easy_a for_o you_o to_o forget_v they_o and_o be_v it_o so_o that_o but_o few_o month_n ago_o the_o whole_a province_n be_v in_o that_o consternation_n on_o the_o account_n of_o their_o religion_n as_o do_v far_o exceed_v our_o expectation_n and_o do_v the_o patriot_n of_o your_o country_n under_o such_o difficulty_n and_o discouragement_n as_o i_o forbear_v to_o name_n renew_v its_o establishment_n and_o that_o too_o with_o such_o a_o unanimity_n and_o general_a consent_n as_o show_v that_o it_o be_v no_o indifferent_a thing_n to_o they_o and_o wherefore_o be_v it_o that_o notwithstanding_o all_o they_o will_v re-establish_a our_o church_n and_o provide_v for_o its_o clergy_n among_o they_o why_o for_o this_o end_n they_o declare_v they_o do_v this_o glorious_a work_n that_o their_o child_n and_o posterity_n be_v preserve_v in_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o church_n from_z faction_n and_o schism_n in_o honesty_n and_o charity_n may_v become_v good_a and_o sober_a man_n love_n virtue_n hate_v vice_n the_o rational_a conseqvence_n of_o true_a christian_a doctrine_n word_n sure_o that_o deserve_v to_o be_v write_v both_o for_o the_o perpetual_a honour_n of_o the_o province_n and_o for_o a_o memorandum_n to_o you_o of_o the_o clergy_n to_o what_o purpose_n you_o be_v continue_v in_o letter_n of_o gold_n on_o pillar_n of_o marble_n it_o evident_o appear_v hence_o that_o the_o christian_a education_n of_o their_o youth_n be_v what_o those_o patriot_n do_v chief_o expect_v from_o you_o and_o sure_o then_o if_o for_o this_o reason_n principal_o a_o clergy_n have_v be_v there_o reestablish_v so_o far_o as_o lie_v in_o their_o power_n to_o this_o work_n therefore_o it_o be_v that_o in_o a_o more_o especial_a manner_n you_o be_v call_v to_o exert_v your_o labour_n as_o a_o most_o important_a part_n of_o your_o ministry_n among_o they_o and_o you_o be_v to_o conclude_v hence_o that_o you_o of_o all_o the_o clergy_n in_o the_o king_n dominion_n have_v a_o more_o than_o ordinary_a call_v to_o apply_v yourselves_o particular_o thereunto_o and_o indeed_o the_o catechetical_a part_n be_v digest_v by_o you_o so_o much_o to_o my_o satisfaction_n that_o if_o you_o shall_v marshal_v all_o the_o youth_n within_o your_o respective_a cure_n into_o those_o three_o class_n and_o shall_v catechise_v they_o according_o i_o shall_v then_o hope_v very_o soon_o to_o see_v those_o in_o america_n as_o far_o exceed_v many_o among_o we_o here_o as_o the_o child_n of_o the_o poor_a vaudois_n which_o thuanus_n speak_v of_o lib._n 27._o do_v those_o in_o the_o wealthy_a part_n of_o the_o christian_a world_n and_o the_o religious_a education_n of_o youth_n be_v a_o part_n of_o your_o duty_n of_o such_o infinite_a consequence_n as_o well_o to_o the_o plant_n of_o christanity_n with_o you_o as_o the_o restauration_n of_o it_o here_o now_o almost_o expire_a among_o we_o i_o conjure_v you_o by_o all_o that_o love_n which_o the_o son_n of_o god_n bear_v to_o the_o son_n of_o man_n when_o he_o descend_v from_o heaven_n to_o teach_v and_o enlighten_v the_o ignorant_a and_o benight_a world_n and_o which_o love_n he_o particular_o express_v to_o such_o tender_a one_o i_o conjure_v you_o by_o all_o this_o to_o ●e●●_n those_o lamb_n and_o that_o there_o may_v be_v no_o impossibility_n incapacity_n or_o any_o want_n of_o mean_n urge_v in_o excuse_n for_o any_o one_o omission_n in_o that_o

in_o your_o respective_a cure_n and_o will_v also_o take_v care_n of_o even_o those_o of_o better_a condition_n shall_v their_o parent_n be_v so_o barbarous_a towards_o they_o as_o to_o deny_v to_o provide_v they_o with_o necessary_a book_n rather_o than_o they_o shall_v want_v catechetical_a instruction_n for_o the_o first_o class_n you_o have_v the_o church_n catechism_n together_o with_o some_o of_o the_o most_o apposite_a text_n pertain_v to_o the_o several_a doctrine_n and_o duty_n contain_v therein_o with_o a_o form_n of_o morning_n and_o evening_n prayer_n for_o child_n also_o a_o grace_n before_o and_o after_o meat_n and_o of_o these_o i_o will_v have_v you_o give_v one_o to_o all_o the_o poor_a family_n and_o to_o servant_n quarter_n within_o your_o respective_a cure_n where_o there_o be_v child_n and_o to_o recommend_v it_o to_o the_o wealthy_a parent_n to_o buy_v for_o they_o and_o after_o this_o let_v it_o be_v your_o care_n to_o have_v the_o child_n frequent_o call_v upon_o to_o repeat_v their_o catechism_n and_o to_o recite_v their_o scripture_n and_o prayer_n let_v this_o i_o say_v be_v do_v either_o by_o yourselves_o when_o you_o shall_v visit_v those_o family_n or_o by_o other_o who_o you_o shall_v intrust_v to_o call_v they_o thus_o to_o account_v in_o your_o stead_n and_o as_o you_o can_v think_v of_o such_o proper_a person_n for_o this_o purpose_n as_o the_o member_n of_o the_o religious_a society_n or_o superior_a class_n of_o catechuman_n within_o your_o parish_n who_o you_o will_v find_v very_o serviceable_a to_o you_o in_o this_o and_o many_o other_o good_a office_n within_o your_o cure_n so_o indeed_o this_o part_n must_v be_v do_v chief_o by_o some_o trusty_a deputy_n it_o be_v equal_o impossible_a either_o that_o such_o small_a child_n shall_v be_v bring_v many_o mile_n to_o church_n to_o be_v catechise_v or_o that_o you_o shall_v be_v continual_o visit_v they_o at_o their_o house_n for_o that_o purpose_n for_o which_o more_o than_o your_o whole_a time_n will_v be_v insufficient_a in_o such_o dilate_a cure_n and_o it_o may_v suffice_v that_o you_o do_v this_o in_o person_n only_o when_o either_o a_o baptism_n or_o the_o visitation_n of_o the_o sick_a or_o a_o funeral_n or_o any_o other_o occasion_n shall_v draw_v you_o out_o into_o any_o quarter_n of_o your_o parish_n where_o a_o competition_n between_o the_o several_a duty_n of_o your_o pastoral_a office_n be_v such_o that_o your_o time_n will_v be_v devour_v by_o any_o one_o of_o they_o to_o the_o omission_n of_o other_o equal_o
