these_o be_v not_o genuine_a son_n but_o monster_n that_o hang_v on_o the_o breast_n of_o our_o nursery_n of_o learning_n i_o likewise_o the_o rather_o pitch_v upon_o these_o catechism_n because_o

i_o have_v have_v opportunity_n set_v up_o public_a catechise_v and_o have_v constant_o observe_v it_o to_o produce_v evident_a token_n of_o good_a both_o on_o young_a and_o old_a and_o elder_a people_n have_v thus_o express_v themselves_o to_o i_o we_o answer_v to_o ourselves_o the_o question_n you_o ask_v the_o young_a the_o method_n i_o use_v in_o public_a catechise_n be_v this_o and_o i_o will_v be_v glad_a to_o learn_v a_o better_a i_o first_o ask_v the_o catechuman_n the_o question_n that_o i_o particular_o insist_v upon_o in_o the_o catechism_n to_o prove_v their_o be_v perfect_a in_o the_o answer_n i_o then_o put_v further_a question_n to_o they_o such_o as_o be_v in_o mr._n lye'_v and_o mr._n allein_n explication_n of_o the_o catechism_n to_o prove_v their_o

benefit_n of_o family_n as_o well_o as_o public_a catechise_n and_o withal_o consider_v that_o some_o may_v omit_v this_o or_o not_o perform_v it_o to_o good_a purpose_n mere_o from_o inability_n to_o
