The shorter catechism, composed by the reverend Assembly of Divines, with the proofs thereof out of the Scriptures, in words at length; : which are either some of the formerly quoted places, or others gathered from their own writings: all fitted, both for brevity and clearness, to this their form of sound words. For the benefit of Christians in general, and of youth and children in understanding in particular; that they may with more ease acquaint themselves with the truth according to the Scriptures, and with the Scriptures themselves. Corrected and amended.
