M.A. and F. C. C.Camb THat which is endeavoured to be performed here is 1. To reduce the unquestionable and principall truths of Christianity into a lesse compasse that weak memories may better retain them 2. To cut off many questions which are more difficult and lesse necessary and therefore not fitly to be ranckt amongst principles of Religion 3. To make every answer an entire proposition in it self without dependance upon the question to make up the sense of it the want of this in this Catechism of Mr Bals experience teacheth hath hindered young weak and lesse considerate learners from understanding the answers they have repeated as also from a certain fitting the right answer to a question propounded 4. To cull out the choisest and most evident texts of Scripture to confirm every part of each answer which may easily be learned by any multitude of proofs before confounding and the strength of many of them not easily appearing to such capacities as such a Catechism is intended for 5. Yet to retain for the most part in the questions and answers the very words of Mr Balls Catechism be cause it hath been so much used not without exceeding apparent profit both in families and publike Congregations that other words might be a means to puzzel some in learning this who have formerly taken pains in that The God of knowledge and grace give a blessing to this poor yet sincere endeavour for his glory and his peoples good of his most unworthy and meanest servant S.
