THE Assemblies SHORTER CATECHISM Drawn out into distinct PROPOSITIONS AND Proved by plain and pertinent Texts of Scripture at large With short Rules of Direction for Masters of Families how to use this Book to the best advantage By Thomas Lye M. A. and sometimes Minister of the Gospel at Alhallows Lumbard-street London Printed in the Year 1674. The Principles of the Christian Religion Comprehended in the Assemblies Shorter Catechism Drawn out into several distinct Propositions and proved by plain and pertinent Texts of Scripture Plain Directions for the more profitable use of this Book 1. I Advise That it may be gone through in a Family constantly once a Month. To that end I have divided it into Thirty parts and fixt the day of the Month at the head of every part in the Margent 2. Let it be once or twice distinctly read over and that by parts so much only at a time as is allotted for one day As for example from the first to the fifth question the first day from the fifth to the ninth question the second day and so on to the end 3. When your first begin to examine your Family let them answer only within Book and after you have once or twice gone over the whole Catechism within Book and that you perceive their understandings to be somewhat inlightned then and not till then let them be required to answer without Book 4. In all your Examinations through every Answer of the Catechism keep close and constant to these Questions Suppose the first Question 1. Propose the Question as it is in the Book Thus Q What is the chief end of Man Then let the learner repeat the Answer Thus. A. Mans chief end is to glorifie God and to enjoy him for ever 2 Q. How many Doctrines or distinct Truths are in this Answer A. There are two 3 Q. What is the first Doctrine in this Answer A. That Mans chief end is to glorifie God 4 Q. How is this Doctrine proved A. It is proved out of 1 Cor. 10.31 Whether therefore ye eat or drink or whatsoever ye do do all to the glory of God 5 Q. Where lies the force of this Text to prove this Doctrine A. In these words Do all to the glory of God 6 Q. How know you that the force lies in these words A. Both by the sense of the words themselves and also because these words are printed with a different character or letter from other words of the same Text. 7 Q. But what if at any time as 't is often in the Catechism all the words of the Text are printed alike A. Then the force of the proof lies in the whole Text. Having askt these seven Questions then proceed to the second Doctrine and ask the very self-same Questions and so of every Doctrine that shall be found in any Answer Thus Q. What is the second Doctrin A. Next to the glorifying of God to enjoy him for ever Q. Why say you so This is no Doctrine for it is not full and perfect sense therefore look narrowly into your Book especially to the first Doctrine and there you will find some other words which being added to what you have said the sense will be full and compleat Note with all care that when ever you ask the Learner a Doctrine be sure he give you full and compleat sense especially in second third fourth or fifth Doctrines c. Now then Q. 1. What is the second Doctrine in this Answer A. That Mans chief end next to the glorifying of God is to enjoy him for ever Q. 2. Now indeed you answer right How is this Doctrine proved A. It is proved out of Psal 73.25 26. Whom have I in heaven c. Q. 3. Where lies the force of this Text to prove this Doctrine A. In these words Whom have I in heaven but thee none that I desire besides thee v. 26. God is my portion for ever Q. 4. How know you that the force lies in these words A. Both by the sense of the words themselves and also because these words are printed with a different character from other words of the same Text. Having thus gone over the whole Answer and proved the Doctrines contained therein then proceed to the several Scriptures and see what Doctrines the Learner can observe from them Thus Q. 1. How many Texts of Scripture have you in this Answer A. Two Q. 2. Which is the first A. 1 Cor. 10.31 Whether therefore ye eat c. Q. 3. What Docirine do you observe from this Text A. I observe from this Text that Mans chief end is to glorifie God Q. 4. From what words of this Text do you observe that Truth A. From these words Do all to the glory of God Q. 5. Why from these words A. Because the force of the Text to prove this Truth lies in them Then proceed to the second Scripture Thus Q. 1. What is the second Text of Scripture in this Answer A. Psal 73.25 26. Whom have I in heaven but thee c. Q. 2. What Doctrine or Truth do you observe from this Text A. I observe from this Text that Mans chief end next to the glorifying of God is to enjoy him for ever Q. 3. From what words of this Text do you observe that truth A. From these words Whom have I in heaven but thee none that I desire besides thee 26. God is my portion for ever Q. 4. Why from these words A. Because the force of the Text to prove this truth lies in them Q. 5. What if at any time you find all the words of the Texts of Scripture printed alike from what words then will you raise your Doctrine A. Not from any particular words of the Text but from the whole In this familiar and rational method you may easily proceed to examine upon every Answer and Scripture in the whole Catechism The CATECHISM Q. What is the chief end of Man First Day of the Month. A. Mans chief end is to glorifie God and to enjoy him for ever Mans chief end is 1. To glorifie God Proved out of 1 Cor. 10.31 Whether therefore ye eat or drink or whatsoever ye do Do all to the glory of God 2.

My flesh and my heart 〈◊〉 eth but God is the sirength of my heart and 〈◊〉 portion for ever 2. Q. What Rule hath God given to direct us how we may glorifie and enjoy him A. The Word of God which is contained in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament is the only Rule to direct us how we may glorifie and enjoy him The word of God is 1. Contained in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testarnent Eph. 2.20 And are built upon the found ition of the Apostles and Prophets Jesus Christ himself being the chief
