a_o catechism_n or_o brief_a instruction_n in_o the_o principle_n and_o ground_n of_o the_o true_a christian_a religion_n with_o a_o short_a treatise_n premise_v concern_v the_o profit_n and_o

the_o day_n draw_v near_o through_o this_o am●_n bold_a to_o impart_v a_o admonition_n to_o you_o and_o this_o concern_v a_o duty_n of_o most_o great_a and_o high_a importance-to_a wit_n of_o catechise_v and_o i_o suppose_v there_o can_v be_v a_o more_o needful_a thing_n speak_v of_o and_o concern_v which_o admonition_n shall_v be_v rather_o give_v than_o this_o partly_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o great_a benefit_n and_o profit_n which_o come_v by_o it_o and_o partly_o through_o the_o great_a contempt_n and_o neglect_n which_o be_v have_v of_o it_o and_o partly_o for_o that_o a_o great_a

second_o i_o shall_v endeavour_n to_o remove_v the_o contempt_n of_o it_o three_o i_o shall_v prove_v that_o you_o my_o brethren_n above_o mention_v do_v in_o some_o sort_n though_o not_o so_o full_o as_o certain_a other_o stand_v chargeable_a therein_o touch_v the_o first_o my_o reason_n shall_v be_v only_o by_o allegation_n of_o the_o several_a benefit_n which_o flow_v from_o it_o now_o catechise_v be_v of_o exceed_a advantage_n as_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o preach_n it_o be_v not_o unknown_a how_o great_a the_o number_n be_v of_o these_o who_o enjoy_v the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n and_o be_v nothing_o or_o very_o slender_o better_v by_o it_o this_o be_v most_o certain_o one_o main_n cause_n thereof_o the_o want_n of_o catechise_v in_o that_o person_n come_v unskilled_a

be_v see_v in_o the_o ground_n before_o mention_v second_o concern_v the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n wherein_o we_o enter_v into_o solemn_a covenant_n with_o god_n majesty_n how_o come_v it_o to_o
