A TRIED METHOD OF Catechising BEING An ABSTRACT of the Bishop of CORKE's Shorter Notes on the Church-Catechism With the Scripture-Proofs of them as far as Necessary And DIRECTIONS for the Use of the Abstract to Advantage Feed my Lambs John XXI 15. LONDON Printed for Benj. Tooke at the Middle-Temple-Gate in Fleet-street 1698. The Use of this Abstract is as follows LET Children or like Persons when they are perfect in rehearsing the Catechism be set to learn without Book the several Explanatory Propositions here drawn out of the Notes on each Question and Answer as many Propositions at a time as may be a Task suitable to their Capacity When they are able to repeat such a Portion readily let them in their Examination at Church or elsewhere after any Question or Answer in the Catechism have the Question contained in each Proposition belonging thereto put to them and they will scarce fail to give it the proper Answer For that each Question is repeated almost expresly in the Answer Then let them be asked How they prove that Answer And they will be ready to give the Words of Scripture set down which prove it By the next Lord's Day or next Holy-day let them have another like Portion of the Propositions ready and let them then as before be examined in them together with their Catechism and so till the whole be dispatched For Example Quest What is it to Catechise Ans To Catechise is to instruct in Religion by often repeating the first certain and most necessary Points of it Quest How prove you that Ans By Luke 1.3 4. It seemed good to me to write that thou mightest know the certainty of those things wherein thou hast been instructed Greek Catechised And here will be the chief need for the Catechist to exercise his Skill in shewing how the proof belongs to and explains or concludes the Proposition or sometimes to what part of the Proposition such or such a Proof belongs so that the Hearers generally may understand the whole Proposition and that it is sufficiently proved As in the foreinstanced Proof It is plain from St. Luke may the Catechist say That in the Primitive Church there were several ways or kinds of Instruction according to the different Capacities of those who were to receive Instruction Now it is said That Theophilus to whom St. Luke writes had been already instructed in some things And St. Luke writes and sends to him this Book that he might further and more fully know the certainty of those things wherein he had been instructed or as in the Original wherein he had been Catechised Therefore Catechising is to instruct in Religion by often plain going over again or repeating the first and most necessary Points of it Thus again in Prop. VIII under Answ 6. without some gloss it will not at first sight appear how the Text cited proves the Proposition The Proposition or Definition is To Create is to make a thing at first out of nothing The proof is Gen. 1.1 In the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth Let it be supposed as is usual both in Scripture and in the first Article of our Creeds by Heaven and Earth is meant the Sum of all Created Beings visible and invisible Now it is said by the Holy Ghost In the beginning that is of things and time when there were yet no Created Beings existent or nothing made God made Heaven and Earth that is all things But there was then existent no Created Being out of which he might make them For then it could not have been truly said In the beginning or at First For that Matter or whatsover we will call it out of which Heaven and Earth might be pleaded to be made must have been or have a Being before Heaven and Earth could be made out of it And then I say it could not truly have been said In the beginning or at first forasmuch as there was Matter before that Therefore it appears hence That when God is said to have created Heaven and Earth he made them out of nothing which is the pretended Notion or Meaning of Creation This Course is only for the Weaker or Younger Sort and to begin with But when such Persons are a little exercised in this Method and have gone through the whole Catechism let the Notes either the shorter or the larger be put into their Hands and if they be in any tolerable way industrious they will be able to understand and give a fuller Account as well of what is contained in this Abstract as of what is omitted here but contained in the Notes particularly touching their Christian Name touching Godfathers and Godmothers c. which things it is not so necessary to trouble them with till they understand the Matters which are more Essential to Religion But though any should miss of the Notes if the Propositions and their Proofs be used as is directed and the Persons so Catechised taught to Read and turn their Bibles it may be hoped by these means through God's Blessing on a little use they will understand by degrees the Body of Plain Christianity and how to prove it out of the Holy Scripture so as not to be easily shaken in it afterwards This is enough to explain the Use of the Abstract And so God bless my poor Endeavours and together all who use them E.
