the_o ancient_a truth_n the_o mislike_v that_o i_o have_v of_o those_o other_o methodes_n that_o yet_o be_v give_v forth_o be_v not_o so_o absolute_a as_o some_o may_v take_v it_o and_o in_o effect_n be_v no_o more_o but_o this_o of_o methodes_n we_o have_v two_o principal_a sort_n the_o first_o be_v the_o same_o which_o go_v by_o the_o order_n of_o the_o catechism_n the_o other_o that_o which_o the_o learned_a do_v for_o the_o most_o part_n follow_v in_o their_o institution_n or_o common_a place_n of_o christian_a religion_n that_o kind_n of_o method_n that_o follow_v the_o order_n of_o the_o catechism_n do_v in_o deed_n disclose_v unto_o all_o after_o their_o manner_n what_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o ten_o commandment_n by_o the_o article_n of_o the_o faith_n and_o by_o the_o lord_n prayer_n and_o by_o occasion_n thereof_o do_v also_o discourse_n of_o all_o religion_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o occasion_n there_o be_v offer_v but_o see_v that_o the_o matter_n of_o these_o do_v very_o much_o mingle_v together_o the_o treatise_n that_o shall_v go_v by_o their_o level_n must_v needs_o come_v short_a of_o a_o perfect_a method_n nevertheless_o they_o do_v very_o well_o give_v forth_o the_o true_a sense_n of_o the_o chief_a point_n and_o because_o these_o three_o thing_n before_o recite_v be_v in_o a_o manner_n the_o only_a book_n of_o the_o common_a people_n they_o be_v no_o doubt_n in_o that_o respect_n to_o singular_a use_n for_o that_o they_o open_v those_o thing_n unto_o they_o that_o which_o the_o learned_a do_v common_o follow_v in_o their_o institution_n and_o common_a place_n do_v come_v much_o near_o to_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o just_a method_n but_o yet_o do_v not_o full_o attain_v thereunto_o so_o far_o as_o i_o be_o able_a to_o judge_v many_o of_o they_o discourse_v but_o of_o particular_n not_o sufficient_o tie_v together_o and_o the_o other_o follow_v so_o much_o the_o receive_a order_n that_o they_o also_o do_v not_o apt_o enough_o sort_n every_o member_n to_o his_o proper_a place_n example_n whereof_o i_o can_v geve_v enough_n but_o that_o so_o do_v i_o may_v be_v tedious_a my_o conclusion_n therefore_o shall_v be_v this_o that_o although_o both_o these_o sort_n be_v to_o very_o good_a purpose_n &_o do_v very_o well_o disclose_v unto_o we_o the_o very_a substance_n of_o religion_n yet_o for_o the_o method_n or_o manner_n of_o deliver_v the_o same_o they_o have_v yet_o so_o far_o miss_v the_o mark_n that_o they_o shoot_v at_o that_o there_o be_v row_v i_o for_o other_o to_o stick_v betwixt_o they_o &_o the_o mark_n who_o soever_o can_v hit_v it_o &_o although_o it_o be_v a_o easy_a matter_n to_o find_v that_o there_o be_v win_v they_o to_o shed_v those_o that_o be_v go_v before_o yet_o what_o shall_v let_v but_o that_o every_o one_o may_v do_v his_o devour_v howsoever_o it_o shall_v fall_v out_o in_o the_o end_n as_o for_o me self_o although_o i_o know_v my_o skill_n &_o judgement_n to_o be_v but_o mean_a yet_o i_o think_v i_o have_v espy_v a_o couple_n of_o way_n whereby_o religion_n may_v be_v give_v forth_o some_o what_o more_o orderly_a they_o yet_o it_o be_v and_o because_o it_o have_v please_v god_n to_o bring_v the_o same_o to_o my_o knowledge_n i_o think_v it_o my_o duty_n to_o impart_v the_o same_o unto_o other_o not_o only_o that_o i_o be_v not_o find_v to_o have_v hide_v my_o talon_n but_o also_o to_o the_o end_n that_o such_o as_o god_n shall_v better_o furnish_v may_v put_v to_o their_o hand_n and_o help_v it_o forward_o the_o former_a
