A catechisme that is to saie a familiar introduccion and trainyng of the simple in the commaundementes of God and the principles of oure religion muche necessarie to be taught and knowen to all good christian people sette foorth in questions with direct answers to the same translated into Englishe for the behoufe and commoditee not onely of childrē but also of al suche de●●●●● lerners as are 〈◊〉 in the Latine toungue Suffre the litle children to come vnto me for theirs is the kyngdome of God Marc. x. ¶ Vnto the faythfull christian flocke and congregacion of Iesus Christe Edmonde Alen wisheth grace peace and mercye from God our heauenly father through our sauior Iesus Christe THe almightye and mercyfull God our heauenlye gracious moste deare father monisheth and warneth vs ye dearely beloued in our sauior Christ both by worde and also by diuerse exaumples that we all should take earneste care ●●row for our youth that it be we instructe and brought vp in the true feare of God after suche a godly sorte that it myght liue in all vertue godlynes honestie And it is a thyng whereunto not onely the examples of the heathen but also our owne naturall reasō dayly experience the loue of the comon wealth ought lawfully to moue and enforce vs. For asmuche as we dayly fele and perceiue right euidently what incōueniēce doth insue where youth is neglecte not regarded And agayne what a treasure comfort cōmoditie it is vnto an whole comon wealth where youth is well brought vp in godly learnyng example and exercised in vertue holynesse This I saye myght be sufficient to styrre vp and to kindle our heartes toward the right institucion bryngyng vp of youth although we wer but very heathen But forasmuch as we are christian men and women and through out sauior Christ become the children of God therfore the most holy worde of God the example of our sauior Christ ought moste specially to allure prouoke vs vnto this moste holy and necessary office For fyrst it is euident ynough by the euangelistes what an high charge our sauior Christe geueth vs ouer youth Math. xviii .xix. and Marke x. Where by his hertye and louyng imbracyng of them he declareth manifestly that no seruice can bee more acceptable vnto him than that whiche is spent about them to bryng and induce them vnto him Lykewyse howe earnestly doeth S. Paul commaund all parentes to bryng vppe theyr children in nurture and exhortacion Ephe. vi and Collo iii. For the whiche cause all children haue a speciall commaundement of God to be obedience vnto theyr fathers mothers because they ought to be vnto them as the very deputies and officers of God in continually exercisyng them to the glorye and honor of God And howe highly almyghtie God regardeth the ryght institucion of youth we may learne out of the old testamente sufficiently and specially out of the .xviii cha of Genesis Wheras God openyng vnto the faythfull Abraham his mynde and purpose againste Sodoma Gomorra sayeth these woordes I knowe sayeth the Lorde that his children shall kepe the wayes of the Lorde and do that thyng whiche is ryght and iust that the Lorde may suffer that thyng to come to passe vnto Abraham whiche he hath promised hym c. This holy sentence of God ought to be alone sufficient vnto a christen man whiche is by faythe a childe of Abraham to moue hym to apply all indeuour and studye to the christen educacion of youth For here we haue a singulare comforte a sure promyse that if we be founde true faythfull towarde these gyftes of God our children than wyll God daily encrease augmente hys grace towarde vs and enduce vs into further knowledge of his godly wyll to the glory of his name welth of our soules And beside this God geueth strayght commaundemēt by expresse woordes in diuerse places that we shoulde in no wyse neglecte our youth As in the .vi. and .xi. of Deu. where God commaūded Moses that all menne shoulde teache theyr children and childrens children his lawes commaūdemētes Lykewise through the ꝓphete Dauid God speaketh these wordes in the .lxxviii. Psalme The lord hath made a couenaunt with Iacob and hath geuen Israel a lawe which their posteritie and heires should knowe and tell it vnto their children that they might also put and fixe their hope and cōfidence vpō God and kepe his comaundementes and not for get his workes c. By this we must nedes confesse and knowledge that it is an high thyng by god our heauenly father and the moste requisite speciall poyncte in a christen cōgregacion that the chyldren be well taught and instructe in the wayes of the Lorde and in the couenaunte whiche God hath made with theyr fathers and theyr posteritie for euer in our Sauyour Christe For by this meanes only they must learne to knowe God to be fully persuaded of his mercy and goodnesse towarde them to put all theyr truste and confidence in him only and to loue and feare hym And this foundation once layed they shall afterwarde frame and buylde theyr whole lyfe vpon thesame and learne all humblenes obedience modestie vertue and godlynes in worde and dede and dayly be more inclyned and bente to the true religion and knowlege of God and euermore increase goe forwarde in thesame And thus the whole common welth shall receyue comforte and ioy by them And they in processe of time shall learne to instructe their chyldren in the Lorde in lyke maner And thus there shall neuer waxe any nettels thistles or wedes in this tillage of the Lorde nor they shall not perishe through our negligence For God suffereth vs to remaine in this worlde taketh vs not away immediatly after we haue atteyned to the knowlege of hym for no nother cause but that we should helpe further other vnto thesame that the glory perfite religion of God myght also bee planted waxe in our children posterytie And surely the negligence of men in this behalfe hath hytherto been the chefe cause of so many and dyuers heuy plagues of God As Christe doeth manyfestlye declare where he sayth Woo vnto hym that offendeth or hindreth youth c. It were better for hī that he wer cast into the sea with a mylstone about his necke and drowned Wherfore all they that wyll auoyde this woe let them apply all that study and care with most earnest zeale and indeuor that their youth be wel instruct and brought vp For this can no man denye that the very occasion and grounde of all the mischiefe and wycked dissolutenes that reigneth in the worlde at this daye is that the bringing vp of youth is no better nor diligenter regarded Where subiectes are not so obedient vnto their heades and rulers as they ought to be it is moste specially in suche places where the institucion of youth hath been neglecte Likewise where

any maner of false seruice vnder the pretence of deuocion or holynes as diriges cōmendacions pardons priuate satisfactory masses for the quicke the dead with such lyke supersticious goddes seruice though it hath neuer so high and gloryous a shine yet they offende agaynst this commaundement M. Why do not all thynges please God whiche are doen of a good mynde entent zeale and deuocion Math. xv and in the honor of God S. No forsoth Deut. xii for god abhorth as moste detestable idolatrie all maner of seruice whiche himselfe hath not instituted nor commaunded in his worde And willeth vs to flee auoyd with al our hartes all suche maner of straunge and newe deuised seruice of our Esa ii owne inuentyng Ierem. vii as moste pestilent and corrupt poyson M. Why hath God forbidden any reuerence to be geuen vnto ymages Deut. v S. Because that God beeyng of his owne substaunce euerlasting immortall incomprehēsible and inuisible willeth that we should wholly cleaue vnto his woorde Esa xliiii Iere. xxiii and record thesame continually both night and day bearing it about with vs in our hertes lest thorowe any image we might peraduēture forget him Osee iiii or be hindered in his true seruice M. What can images hindre any manne in the true seruice of God Heb. ii S. There is nothyng that so muche withdraweth vs from the true perfecte knowlege seruice of God as these supersticiouse idolatries images Psal xiv Ier. xxi For the only syght of them draweth vs from the knowlege of God For the whiche cause holy scripture calleth theim deuyls traps or snares of soules Sap. xiiii the worshippyng of them it nameth idolatry a woorke of the flesh Gal. v M. May not images be as lay mennes bookes to put theim in remembraunce of God or of the sayntes lyues S. Whosoeuer setteth vp any image for any such purpose declareth euidētly that he hath denied in his hert the very liuing god is in his hert a very worshipper of idols For the boke whiche onely can bring leade all men both laye other to the knowlege of God is onely the worde of God conteyned in holy scripture in the byble That ought to be the booke of euery laye man ii Tim. iii. ii Pet. i For therin is sufficiently contained all thynges necessary for the saluacion of mā and it nedeth the helpe of none other booke for it is sufficiente of it selfe M. Is there no maner of image wherby we maye be put in remēbraunce of god S. Gen. ii Yes mankynde is the lyuely Image of god made of god hymselfe without the hande of man Lykewise the heauen and yearth the sonne and moone with other lyke creatures of god These may put vs dayly in remembraunce of the infinite power goodnes and wisedom of God Psal xix Rom. i M. What is the vnderstandyng of the thirde commaundement Thou shalt not take the name of the Lorde thy God in vayne c. S. In this commaundement is forbidden all maner of periury sweryng Math. v blasphemyng of God and his holy name M. Wherby is the name of God moste specially blasphemed Leui. xix and .xxiiii S. By false doctrine supersticious inuocacion or prayer mūblyng of Matyns or Euensong in a straunge tounge without deuocion M. Whereby els S. By false customable swearyng cursyng charmyng coniuryng or inchauntyng by the name of God also by any maner of supersticious vsyng the name or woorde of God or of our sauior Christe M. Is it a great sīne to sweare or to curse rashely by the name of God of our sauior Iesus Christ by his mēbres workes woundes and blissed passion S Yea it is suche an horrible an haynous blasphemye that God did cōmaunde in his lawe to bee punyshed with stonyng vnto death Leui. xxiiii M. But maye a man in no case sweare lawfully without offēce to God Exod. xxii S. Yes yf any man bee required of a magistrate and other wyse also yf it maye serue to the glory of God to the confirmaciō of the trueth Gene. xxi or to the welth and ꝓfite of our neyghbour in the same ii Ch. i For by suche othes is the name of God sanctified and not blasphemed M. Whā kepest thou this commaundemente Psal xlix Exod. xv S. Whansoeuer I confesse prayse extoll magnifie his name his wordes and workes in eche tyme and place as I ought to do committyng my selfe wholly vnto my heauenly father through Iesus Christe our sauior and callyng vpon his helpe and ayde in all maner of affliccion necessitie rendryng vnto hym continuall thankes for all his benefites auoyding all manier of thinges where through his worde his workyng or his glorye might in any wise be hindred contemned or diminished M. How vnderstādest thou the fowerth commaundement The .iiii. commaundemente Remembre that thou sanctifie the sabboth daye c. S. Lyke as there are two maner of sabbothes a spirituall an exteriour sabboth so likewyse is the sabboth kept or brokē two maner of wayes M. What requireth the spirituall sabboth S. That we should continually mortifie tame crucifie our fleshe with all the lustes and concupiscence therof and haue our continuall meditacion vpon the kyngdom of God that we should praise and thanke hym aswell in prosperitye as in aduersitye bearing all manier of affliccion paciently And whansoeuer we do the contrarye than breake we this sabboth M. And whan is the exteriour or outwarde sabboth kept S. Whan euery man applyeth himselfe to come vnto the churche and congregacion to heare the worde of god where it is preached to be present at the common prayers endeuouryng hymselfe to pray with the faythfull congregacion to receiue the holy sacramētes with thesame accordyng vnto the institucion and ordinaunces of Christe and also to bryng and geue his almes in the congregacion for the succour and reliefe of the poore And so to confirme and strengthen his owne faythe and to geue a good example of vertue vnto others And that we myght the more quietly perfourme yesame with out any let or hinderaūce therfore he cōmaūdeth that neither our seruauntes catell nor nothyng about vs should do any labor vpon that daye M. Why so S. Not as though it were synne to doe any honest labour for labour is commaunded of God or as though it were vnpleasyng Gene iii. Ephe. iiii to God that we helpe our selfe or succour our neyghbour in tyme of nede but that we myght bee more quiet to serue God that our children householde myght haue some tyme to here learne the worde of God to remembre considre his benefites to inuocate and to call vpon hym to laude and to thanke hym M. And ought a man to doe no speciall labour vpon that day S. No not for any couetousnes of worldely encreace or aduauntage or for any pryuate pleasure
