What should become of the people in the mean season / whilst they learn their Catechism / and when they have learned it / they are no more fit to be Ministers and to teach other / then he that hath learned his Accidence / is meet to set up a school. And it can not be defended / but it was a gross over sight / to enjoin ministers to learn a Catechism. It were much to compel them to read it. And if a man would have declaimed against the ignorance of the most part of the ministers / three whole days together / he could not have said more against them / then that Canon which sendeth them to their A. B. C. and principles of their religion. How know you / that they quote the Catechism in the margin in derision? is there any syllable or letter that soundeth that ways? if you conjecture it because they have set it in the margin / you may as well say that they likewise quote the scriptures in derision / being also placed there.
