Excerpt from An Exposition of the Catechism of the Church of England Divines may learn to be wise from other professors, who deliver the grounds of their art and science in little breviates; knowing well that the scholar is not capable of deeper dis courses till these grounds be well laid and committed to memory. Hence it is that lawyers have their institutions; physicians their aphorisms philosophers their introductions; grammarians their accidence; scriveners their characters and first draughts of letters: in a word, all knowledge proceeds from simple terms, and so must the knowledge of Christ it must be taught in the easiest way, and learned by the easiest rules, which ought to be, and is in the Catechism, summarily, briefly, and yet fully proposed. He that knows more can but descant upon this; and he that knows less, knows too little. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
