do_v not_o remember_v above_o 2_o or_o 3_o on_o these_o most_o necessary_a subject_n i_o be_o sure_a they_o bear_v no_o manner_n of_o proportion_n to_o we_o a_o five_o matter_n of_o fact_n deny_v by_o mr._n boyse_n be_v that_o hardly_o one_o in_o ten_o get_v your_o catechism_n by_o heart_n nor_o one_o in_o five_o hundred_o retain_v it_o on_o the_o contrary_n he_o affirm_v p._n 87._o that_o he_o believe_v that_o if_o i_o make_v a_o more_o accurate_a trial_n i_o shall_v find_v as_o many_o of_o the_o dissenter_n child_n that_o have_v get_v their_o catechism_n by_o heart_n as_o of_o other_o that_o have_v do_v so_o by_o the_o church_n catechism_n i_o think_v i_o have_v have_v a_o opportunity_n to_o inform_v myself_o of_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o matter_n so_o certain_o that_o it_o be_v hardly_o possible_a for_o i_o to_o mistake_v and_o i_o will_v endeavour_v to_o make_v you_o sensible_a of_o the_o truth_n of_o my_o computation_n first_o then_o you_o know_v that_o you_o who_o refrain_v from_o the_o establish_v church_n be_v here_o much_o more_o numerous_a than_o such_o as_o be_v conformable_a and_o have_v proportionable_o more_o child_n yet_o beside_o grow_v people_n i_o have_v confirm_v near_o a_o thousand_o child_n all_o above_o thirteen_o year_n old_a in_o three_o year_n since_o i_o come_v to_o this_o diocese_n many_o of_o these_o i_o have_v examine_v personal_o and_o always_o find_v they_o perfect_a in_o their_o catechism_n and_o those_o that_o i_o do_v not_o examine_v likewise_o be_v so_o as_o the_o minister_n that_o present_v they_o assure_v i_o in_o the_o most_o solemn_a manner_n and_o i_o be_v also_o inform_v by_o several_a of_o these_o minister_n and_o by_o the_o schoolmaster_n that_o most_o child_n of_o conformable_a parent_n can_v likewise_o say_v it_o though_o so_o young_a as_o not_o fit_a to_o be_v confirm_v now_o i_o desire_v you_o to_o produe_v i_o such_o a_o number_n of_o your_o child_n that_o can_v say_v you_o and_o i_o shall_v be_v very_o glad_a of_o it_o but_o second_o if_o you_o look_v among_o your_o own_o child_n perhaps_o you_o may_v find_v a_o pregnant_a boy_n here_o or_o there_o that_o can_v say_v your_o catechism_n entire_o but_o the_o generality_n seldom_o can_v go_v above_o a_o leaf_n or_o two_o in_o it_o it_o be_v a_o great_a matter_n to_o find_v a_o boy_n that_o can_v say_v it_o all_o and_o the_o schoolmaster_n general_o acknowledge_v to_o i_o that_o the_o child_n forget_v one_o part_n of_o it_o before_o they_o can_v get_v another_o and_o the_o best_a account_n they_o can_v give_v of_o the_o matter_n be_v that_o they_o be_v learn_v it_o and_o so_o the_o generality_n be_v like_a to_o be_v for_o ever_o i_o have_v make_v so_o many_o trial_n of_o this_o in_o a_o whole_a school_n at_o a_o time_n that_o i_o can_v no_o long_o doubt_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o it_o and_o it_o will_v be_v very_o odd_a for_o i_o to_o think_v to_o impose_v upon_o you_o who_o know_v so_o well_o all_o these_o thing_n and_o who_o i_o be_o desirous_a to_o prevail_v on_o and_o instruct_v and_o can_v hope_v to_o do_v it_o only_o by_o the_o integrity_n of_o what_o i_o say_v 3._o as_o to_o retain_v it_o i_o doubt_v whether_o any_o do_v it_o at_o all_o after_o 20._o i_o try_v not_o only_o a_o whole_a school_n at_o one_o time_n but_o the_o schoolmaster_n also_o a_o dissent_a that_o teach_v it_o in_o one_o of_o my_o parochial_a visitation_n and_o among_o they_o all_o then_o present_a they_o can_v not_o give_v a_o answer_n to_o that_o question_n in_o your_o catechism_n what_o be_v faith_n in_o jesus_n christ_n which_o be_v the_o first_o that_o come_v in_o my_o thought_n to_o ask_v they_o for_o a_o trial_n and_o of_o this_o and_o several_a other_o like_a passage_n i_o have_v many_o witness_n 4._o whereas_o mr._n boyse_n affirm_v p._n 85._o that_o there_o be_v not_o one_o of_o these_o person_n in_o your_o congregation_n come_v to_o year_n of_o age_n who_o be_v not_o once_o every_o year_n constant_o instruct_v in_o the_o principle_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n and_o personal_o examine_v about_o his_o knowledge_n of_o they_o pray_v consider_v a_o little_a serious_o this_o matter_n of_o fact_n i_o leave_v it_o with_o you_o and_o know_v what_o you_o must_v conclude_v and_o hope_v you_o will_v be_v so_o just_a to_o yourselves_o as_o to_o determine_v of_o what_o credit_n this_o author_n ought_v to_o be_v in_o his_o relation_n i_o will_v not_o derogate_v from_o your_o minister_n labour-in_a catechise_v their_o people_n but_o notwithstanding_o their_o pain_n there_o be_v some_o thousand_o of_o man_n and_o woman_n in_o this_o diocese_n that_o profess_v themselves_o of_o your_o communion_n that_o be_v never_o catechise_v by_o they_o and_o many_o be_v altogether_o

that_o require_v your_o minister_n to_o examine_v either_o public_o or_o private_o so_o that_o your_o minister_n performance_n in_o this_o point_n be_v voluntary_a which_o be_v a_o great_a defect_n whereas_o our_o rule_n make_v catechise_v a_o part_n of_o our_o lord's-day_n service_n and_o a_o settle_a ordinance_n in_o our_o public_a assembly_n as_o it_o have_v ever_o be_v esteem_v in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n i_o must_v tell_v you_o that_o mr._n boyse_n to_o excuse_v his_o great_a defect_n put_v i_o p._n 84._o on_o produce_v some_o precept_n or_o example_n from_o scripture_n require_v

over_o your_o bible_n and_o compare_v 2_o tim._n 1.13_o with_o chap._n 2._o vers._n 2._o and_o there_o you_o will_v find_v st._n paul_n command_v timothy_n hold_v fast_o the_o form_n of_o sound_a

the_o same_o as_o st._n paul_n deliver_v it_o that_o be_v before_o many_o witness_n or_o in_o the_o face_n of_o the_o church_n i_o hope_v no_o good_a man_n will_v seek_v a_o plain_a proof_n for_o a_o
