A most breefe manner of Instruction to the principles of Christian Religion By I. F. Psal. 34. Come ye children and I will teach you the feare of the Lord. 1. Peter 3.11 Let euerie one be ready to render an account of his Faith Imprinted at London by Hugh Singleton To the christian Reader grace and peace in Christe THe short memories and dull wits of many to conceiue remember the most briefe short sum of Christian Religiō hath moued me to doo this worke and that because I see perceiue by daily proofe and experience that all meanes and waies assaied yet hardlie we can preuaile to settle or beate into the heads and hearts of youth so necessarie a matter as is the instruction to right vnderstanding of the principles of Religion I haue heere therfore according to my capacitie and small skill drawne out a few questions with Aunsweres annexed and adioined verie fitte for the simpler sorte both of youth and age that are so long and harde to learne That it greeueth my heart to thinke howe carelesse and heedlesse many bothe young and olde be in so needfull a matter as concernes their saluation But the cause of so small effect taken of many is this partly by the negligence both of Parentes and their youth both children and seruauntes the Parents slacknesse in sending them to the Ministers and theyr carelesnesse when they doo come and heedlesse hearts in hearing and regarding and theyr mindlesnesse when the Ministers endeuour is in the best and plainest manner bestowed among them And therefore I praye God styrre vp the Magistrates hartes to haue more care of this so waighty a matter And to see their articles concerning this point better executed and put in practise as well for carelesse and heedlesse and mindlesse youth and ignoraunt aged persons as for negligent Parentes and Ministers for the instruction of the one and discharge of the other Thine in the Lord.
