let_v they_o know_v that_o you_o be_v ready_a and_o desirous_a to_o perform_v your_o duty_n if_o they_o will_v do_v they_o and_o mark_v i_o beseech_v you_o what_o be_v require_v of_o you_o not_o only_o to_o examine_v the_o child_n in_o the_o catechism_n that_o be_v to_o ask_v they_o the_o question_n and_o receive_v their_o answer_n but_o to_o instruct_v they_o therein_o that_o be_v teach_v

when_o the_o day_n be_v long_o at_o evening_n prayer_n after_o the_o second_o lesson_n as_o the_o rubric_n appoint_v it_o will_v be_v of_o wonderful_a use_n both_o to_o yourselves_o and_o to_o your_o people_n i_o say_v to_o yourselves_o as_o well_o as_o the_o parish_n because_o it_o will_v put_v you_o upon_o consider_v collect_v and_o digest_v such_o proper_a place_n of_o scripture_n as_o relate_v to_o every_o article_n of_o the_o creed_n and_o to_o the_o commandment_n and_o to_o all_o other_o part_n of_o the_o catechism_n and_o upon_o study_v also_o and_o frame_v the_o plain_a and_o clear_a

serve_v you_o all_o your_o life_n the_o same_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v repeat_v over_o and_o over_o again_o every_o year_n for_o i_o suppose_v you_o may_v be_v able_a once_o a_o year_n to_o go_v through_o the_o whole_a catechism_n which_o will_v certain_o edify_v your_o people_n very_o much_o and_o make_v they_o more_o capable_a to_o understand_v your_o sermon_n by_o have_v a_o clear_a notion_n of_o many_o term_n which_o you_o have_v constant_a occasion_n to_o use_v in_o they_o it_o will_v bring_v people_n also_o to_o church_n in_o the_o afternoon_n for_o they_o will_v soon_o perceive_v this_o short_a instruction_n to_o be_v as_o useful_a as_o any_o sermon_n and_o consequent_o they_o will_v observe_v the_o lord_n day_n better_o for_o i_o can_v but_o think_v that_o many_o will_v by_o this_o mean_n have_v your_o explication_n of_o the_o catechism_n by_o heart_n and_o be_v able_a to_o instruct_v their_o child_n again_o at_o home_n i_o shall_v quicken_v you_o to_o this_o by_o what_o i_o find_v be_v do_v about_o it_o in_o the_o reign_n of_o king_n james_n i._n who_o send_v strict_a order_n to_o the_o archbishop_n of_o canterbury_n both_o concern_v preach_v and_o catechise_n especial_o the_o latter_a which_o he_o will_v have_v by_o all_o mean_v continue_v in_o the_o afternoon_n according_a to_o the_o former_a custom_n in_o england_n so_o his_o word_n be_v which_o it_o seem_v then_o begin_v to_o be_v disuse_v and_o of_o this_o the_o lord_n keeper_n williams_n say_v the_o king_n be_v so_o desirous_a that_o he_o declare_v if_o his_o bishop_n will_v not_o take_v care_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v do_v he_o will_v recommend_v it_o to_o the_o care_n of_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n and_o in_o a_o letter_n to_o the_o bishop_n of_o london_n he_o tell_v he_o the_o reason_n of_o all_o this_o he_o see_v many_o go_v away_o to_o popery_n or_o anabaptism_n or_o other_o point_n of_o separation_n and_o consider_v with_o much_o admiration_n what_o shall_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o especial_o since_o he_o oppose_v both_o so_o much_o himself_o he_o can_v think_v of_o none_o in_o great_a probability_n than_o the_o lightness_n affectedness_n and_o unprofitableness_n of_o that_o kind_n of_o preach_v which_o have_v of_o late_a year_n be_v much_o take_v up_o in_o court_n university_n and_o country_n the_o usual_a scope_n of_o very_a many_o preacher_n be_v note_v to_o be_v soar_v up_o in_o point_n of_o divinity_n too_o deep_a for_o the_o capacity_n of_o the_o people_n or_o the_o muster_n up_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o read_v or_o the_o display_v of_o their_o own_o wit_n or_o a_o ignorant_a meddle_v with_o civil_a matter_n or_o the_o vent_v their_o own_o distaste_n etc._n etc._n so_o the_o people_n be_v breed_v up_o with_o this_o kind_n of_o teach_v and_o never_o instruct_v in_o the_o catechetical_a and_o fundamental_a point_n of_o religion_n be_v easy_o lead_v aside_o from_o their_o religion_n either_o by_o papist_n or_o anabaptist_n or_o other_o sectary_n this_o i_o find_v in_o the_o cabala_n of_o letter_n p._n 112._o which_o be_v necessary_a to_o be_v consider_v now_o because_o since_o that_o time_n the_o explication_n of_o the_o catechism_n in_o the_o afternoon_n have_v be_v much_o neglect_v unto_o which_o we_o have_v reason_n to_o impute_v the_o instability_n of_o many_o soul_n in_o their_o religion_n sect_n viii_o when_o the_o child_n of_o your_o parish_n be_v thorough_o instruct_v in_o the_o church-catechism_n and_o be_v come_v to_o a_o competent_a age_n as_o the_o word_n of_o the_o three_o rubric_n be_v in_o the_o end_n of_o that_o office_n you_o be_v to_o take_v care_n that_o they_o be_v bring_v to_o the_o bishop_n to_o be_v confirm_v by_o he_o now_o such_o little_a child_n as_o be_v common_o present_v to_o the_o bishop_n can_v be_v think_v to_o be_v of_o a_o competent_a age._n which_o be_v explain_v both_o in_o the_o title_n of_o the_o order_n of_o confirmation_n and_o the_o preface_n to_o it_o to_o signify_v such_o as_o be_v come_v to_o year_n of_o discretion_n that_o be_v to_o understand_v what_o they_o do_v and_o consent_n to_o renew_v the_o solemn_a promise_n and_o vow_n that_o be_v make_v in_o their_o name_n at_o their_o baptism_n ratify_v and_o confirm_v the_o same_o in_o their_o own_o person_n and_o acknowledge_v themselves_o bind_v to_o believe_v and_o do_v what_o their_o godfather_n and_o godmother_n undertake_v for_o they_o as_o you_o be_v bind_v therefore_o by_o the_o last_o rubric_n at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o catechism_n when_o the_o bishop_n give_v notice_n of_o his_o intention_n to_o confirm_v either_o to_o bring_v or_o send_v in_o write_v with_o your_o hand_n subscribe_v thereunto_o the_o name_n of_o all_o such_o person_n within_o your_o parish_n as_o you_o shall_v think_v fit_a to_o be_v present_v to_o he_o to_o be_v confirm_v so_o i_o beseech_v you_o take_v care_v you_o set_v down_o the_o name_n of_o none_o but_o such_o as_o have_v a_o sense_n that_o they_o take_v upon_o themselves_o a_o obligation_n to_o keep_v their_o vow_n in_o baptism_n and_o be_v resolve_v to_o do_v their_o duty_n towards_o god_n and_o towards_o their_o neighbour_n as_o they_o have_v be_v teach_v in_o their_o catechism_n in_o short_a i_o think_v none_o ripe_a to_o be_v confirm_v but_o such_o as_o be_v fit_a and_o dispose_v immediate_o after_o it_o to_o receive_v the_o holy_a communion_n of_o christ_n body_n and_o blood_n our_o church_n seem_v to_o signify_v so_o much_o when_o in_o the_o end_n of_o this_o office_n it_o ordain_v that_o
