This true pattern whereof the Apostle speaketh doth signify true sentences of each part of this doctrine.1 briefly and orderly comprised, & as it were presented to our view: with a form of teaching and speaking that is proper, plain, and suitable to the writings of the Prophets & Apostles. Whereupon he nameth them wholesome words delivered by himself in faith, 2or concerning faith and love which is in Christ, that is in the acknowledging of Christ: as every where he reduceth all piety & religion to faith and charity. The Catechism therefore is a sum of the doctrine of faith and love in Christ, delivered by the Prophets and apostles. Or A sum of Christianity, briefly, orderly, and plainly comprised. For we must not devise a doctrine of our own, but of necessity refer our selves (as it is said Isaiah the 8. v. 20.) to the law and to the testimony. But hereunto also must be added an exposition, to unfold truly the parts and method, and to interpret plainly the words and phrase.
