we_o shall_v give_v the_o best_a sense_n to_o the_o worst_a of_o their_o answer_n and_o put_v some_o necessary_a word_n into_o their_o mouth_n the_o better_a to_o facilitate_v the_o expression_n of_o their_o thought_n that_o we_o shall_v careful_o manage_v every_o part_n of_o this_o business_n with_o the_o best_a of_o our_o wisdom_n and_o endeavour_v to_o credit_v they_o as_o well_o as_o to_o instruct_v they_o and_o to_o procure_v they_o both_o the_o more_o esteem_n in_o the_o church_n and_o favour_n when_o they_o come_v home_o and_o if_o any_o of_o they_o shall_v yet_o chance_v to_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o some_o indignity_n to_o they_o to_o sit_v under_o the_o desk_n when_o some_o of_o their_o fellow_n advance_v themselves_o to_o stand_v in_o the_o pulpit_n we_o doubt_v not_o but_o to_o convince_v they_o that_o all_o intelligent_a man_n account_v such_o forwardness_n not_o a_o specimen_fw-la of_o more_o knowledge_n but_o less_o modesty_n than_o their_o year_n seem_v to_o

swift_a to_o hear_v they_o will_v have_v be_v slow_a to_o speak_v we_o be_v so_o sufficient_o acquaint_v with_o the_o untractable_a temper_n of_o such_o impetuous_a spiritati_fw-la that_o we_o begin_v to_o excuse_v their_o parent_n and_o master_n that_o they_o forbear_v to_o interpose_v their_o interest_n and_o authority_n for_o the_o further_o restrain_v they_o what_o hope_n be_v there_o that_o they_o who_o pretend_v god_n do_v immediate_o commission_n they_o to_o preach_v will_v yield_v obedience_n to_o any_o mortal_a man_n that_o shall_v command_v they_o to_o be_v silent_a but_o we_o must_v needs_o say_v we_o extreme_o marvel_v how_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o any_o parent_n and_o master_n albeit_o they_o hereupon_o neglect_v to_o forbid_v these_o bold_a yonker_n to_o preach_v yet_o shall_v pretend_v a_o secret_a check_n in_o their_o conscience_n and_o make_v a_o pitiful_a doubt_n whether_o they_o may_v require_v they_o to_o learn_v we_o wonder_v how_o they_o have_v be_v so_o strange_o inveigle_v as_o to_o tolerate_v all_o thing_n by_o scruple_v they_o and_o to_o let_v the_o reins_n lose_v pure_o out_o of_o strictness_n to_o think_v it_o a_o sin_n in_o themselves_o to_o press_v a_o duty_n on_o other_o and_o a_o breach_n of_o god_n holy_a law_n to_o enjoin_v the_o keep_n of_o they_o how_o it_o come_v about_o that_o they_o who_o can_v allow_v themselves_o to_o be_v severe_a enough_o to_o their_o servant_n for_o loiter_v in_o their_o shop_n can_v find_v it_o in_o their_o heart_n to_o rebuke_v they_o for_o neglect_n of_o the_o church_n that_o they_o who_o hold_v themselves_o bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o inform_v their_o servant_n in_o all_o the_o secret_n of_o their_o trade_n shall_v think_v themselves_o as_o much_o tie_v up_o from_o press_v they_o to_o learn_v the_o mystery_n of_o religion_n we_o shall_v say_v but_o this_o that_o we_o see_v too_o much_o cause_n to_o fear_v lest_o they_o who_o use_v not_o all_o the_o mean_n they_o can_v to_o bring_v their_o child_n and_o servant_n to_o the_o faith_n be_v themselves_o bring_v at_o last_o to_o a_o unprofitable_a repentance_n sure_o we_o be_v they_o who_o have_v not_o learn_v their_o duty_n to_o god_n will_v never_o right_o perform_v their_o duty_n to_o man_n we_o wish_v that_o sawey_a behaviour_n and_o lame_a account_n be_v not_o too_o sad_a proof_n of_o this_o unhappy_a truth_n we_o take_v it_o to_o be_v so_o necessary_a that_o all_o parent_n and_o master_n bring_v their_o young_a one_o to_o be_v catechize_v that_o we_o think_v it_o needless_a to_o press_v it_o any_o further_o only_o we_o be_v sorry_a to_o consider_v that_o some_o who_o profess_v themselves_o convince_v of_o the_o usefulness_n of_o catechise_v be_v at_o a_o stand_n about_o those_o catechism_n which_o we_o will_v commend_v to_o their_o use_n we_o mean_v those_o excellent_a one_o which_o be_v not_o long_o since_o compose_v by_o the_o reverend_a divine_n assemble_v at_o westminster_n attest_v by_o the_o

body_n of_o positive_a divinity_n as_o any_o we_o know_v extant_a this_o day_n and_o we_o believe_v that_o whosoever_o shall_v peruse_v it_o with_o a_o judicious_a and_o unprejudiced_a eye_n will_v easy_o observe_v the_o singular_a skill_n of_o those_o eminent_a workman_n who_o so_o accurate_o fold_v so_o much_o variety_n of_o choice_a matter_n in_o so_o few_o plain_a word_n so_o artificial_o digest_v the_o question_n so_o irrefragable_o confirm_v every_o branch_n of_o the_o answer_n by_o so_o many_o clear_a proof_n of_o scripture_n all_o along_o quote_v in_o the_o margin_n we_o profess_v to_o look_v on_o that_o large_a catechism_n as_o a_o excellent_a card_n not_o only_o for_o vulgar_a christian_n but_o all_o young_a divine_n to_o steer_v the_o course_n of_o their_o study_n nor_o yet_o do_v we_o think_v high_o than_o some_o most_o reverend_a man_n have_v be_v please_v to_o speak_v of_o it_o and_o they_o such_o as_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o interest_n in_o the_o episcopal_a cause_n be_v not_o like_a to_o overvalue_v any_o labour_n of_o the_o assembly_n beyond_o the_o just_a rate_n of_o its_o apparent_a desert_n the_o truth_n be_v we_o judge_v that_o large_a catechism_n to_o be_v a_o useful_a comment_n for_o ourselves_o to_o have_v recourse_n to_o in_o the_o explication_n of_o the_o lesser_a which_o we_o esteem_v better_o temper_v to_o the_o capacity_n and_o memory_n of_o young_a people_n and_o this_o testimony_n we_o may_v free_o give_v to_o this_o lesser_a catechism_n that_o it_o have_v this_o considerable_a excellency_n above_o all_o those_o we_o have_v see_v that_o every_o answer_n be_v a_o entire_a proposition_n without_o relation_n to_o the_o question_n precede_v in_o short_a we_o humble_o bless_v god_n for_o so_o great_a a_o help_n as_o he_o have_v
