Here being divers particulars answer'd, and plainly opened, that may be profitable both in this present age, and ages to come. Published for the benefit of all sorts of people, and may be very serviceable for every family, and of great use for young children to learn in, so soon as they can understand their language, that they in the fear of God may be instructed, and remember their creator in the dayes of their youth. For which I travel, enduring affliction for the truths sake, William Smith. Smith, William, d. 1673. 1665 (1665) Wing S4322; ESTC R224034 28,937 98

thyself_o too_o god_n c._n but_o i_o desire_v to_o inquire_v somewhat_o after_o this_o thing_n that_o i_o may_v receive_v information_n concern_v it_o see_v there_o be_v so_o many_o profession_n and_o
