opportunity_n in_o regard_n of_o other_o employment_n the_o chief_a head_n and_o ground_n of_o divinity_n in_o the_o plain_a manner_n and_o method_n that_o possible_o i_o can_v devise_v not_o that_o i_o do_v either_o despise_v or_o disregard_n those_o catechism_n which_o be_v already_o print_v &_o set_v forth_o by_o many_o reverend_a and_o learned_a divine_n in_o use_v of_o which_o i_o may_v have_v save_v that_o labour_n but_o because_o i_o desire_v to_o have_v all_o the_o ground_n of_o divinity_n not_o only_o deliver_v as_o near_o as_o possible_o may_v be_v in_o the_o very_a word_n and_o phrase_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o the_o quotation_n of_o the_o scripture_n for_o every_o ground_n but_o also_o that_o the_o word_n of_o every_o scripture_n shall_v be_v write_v down_o which_o be_v pertinent_a to_o the_o prove_v of_o every_o ground_n with_o the_o explication_n of_o such_o thing_n as_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v dark_a and_o obscure_a to_o the_o understanding_n of_o the_o mean_a capacity_n the_o which_o order_n i_o can_v not_o find_v in_o any_o print_a catechism_n the_o consideration_n of_o which_o move_v i_o the_o rather_o to_o put_v my_o resolution_n into_o practice_n the_o which_o i_o begin_v long_o since_o not_o have_v the_o least_o thought_n that_o ever_o it_o shall_v have_v come_v to_o the_o press_n as_o the_o lord_n who_o be_v the_o searcher_n of_o all_o heart_n know_v but_o when_o i_o have_v finish_v the_o same_o it_o grow_v to_o a_o far_o great_a volume_n than_o i_o expect_v afterward_o some_o of_o my_o friend_n that_o be_v conversant_a at_o my_o house_n desire_v copy_n of_o the_o same_o in_o writing_n the_o which_o i_o know_v by_o experience_n will_v be_v both_o troublesome_a and_o tedious_a yet_o be_v desirous_a to_o pleasure_v my_o friend_n in_o what_o i_o may_v prefer_v a_o public_a good_a before_o a_o private_a i_o ask_v a_o printer_n who_o be_v a_o friend_n of_o i_o whether_o he_o think_v he_o can_v have_v the_o same_o authorize_v to_o be_v print_v show_v he_o the_o copy_n he_o be_v desirous_a both_o to_o get_v it_o authorize_v and_o to_o have_v the_o print_n of_o it_o whereupon_o i_o take_v advice_n of_o some_o of_o my_o friend_n who_o judgement_n i_o prefer_v before_o my_o own_o show_v they_o the_o copy_n who_o give_v i_o encouragement_n concern_v the_o same_o then_o i_o give_v it_o into_o the_o printer_n hand_n to_o get_v it_o authorize_v if_o authority_n shall_v think_v it_o fit_v although_o i_o confess_v i_o do_v not_o expect_v that_o it_o will_v have_v be_v authorize_v but_o how_o ever_o it_o be_v authorize_v contrary_a to_o my_o expectation_n and_o therefore_o i_o be_v willing_a to_o admit_v the_o same_o unto_o the_o press_n although_o i_o confess_v that_o there_o be_v many_o print_a catechism_n se●_n forth_o by_o many_o reverend_a learned_a man_n to_o who_o i_o be_o far_o inferior_a and_o who_o work_n be_v more_o learned_a and_o eminent_a yet_o consider_v of_o the_o great_a use_n that_o now_o at_o this_o present_a there_o be_v of_o catechism_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o order_n of_o catechise_v enjoin_v by_o public_a authority_n over_o all_o england_n and_o consider_v that_o diverse_a people_n be_v of_o diverse_a mind_n and_o opinion_n some_o like_n and_o approve_v of_o one_o catechism_n and_o some_o of_o another_o and_o consider_v withal_o that_o all_o people_n general_o be_v affect_v with_o new_a book_n i_o adventure_v to_o present_v the_o same_o to_o public_a view_n hope_v that_o it_o will_v be_v profitable_a unto_o some_o and_o then_o i_o know_v i_o shall_v not_o lose_v my_o labour_n howsoever_o i_o desire_v that_o the_o ignorant_a may_v be_v instruct_v thereby_o and_o that_o all_o in_o general_n which_o read_v the_o same_o may_v be_v further_v build_v up_o strengthen_v
