〈◊〉 abroad that desired them I was not vnwilling thus to giue them content by the benefit of the ●…resse and of p●…ting Neither haue I done this for any w●…nt for there is store of Catechisms abroad to which this worme of mine is no way comparable and God hath 〈◊〉 mercif●…ll with our age for the meanes of knowledge but we famish spirit●…lly at the ful measure of these 〈◊〉 either by 〈◊〉 vsing them
