On Thursday Evenings (instead of Reading) he Catechized his Children and Servants in the Assemblies Catechism, with the Proofs, or sometimes in a little Catechism, Concerning the matter of Prayer, published in the Year 1674. and said to be written by Dr. Collins, which they learned for their help in the Gift of Prayer, and he Explained it to them. Or else they Read, and he Examined them in some other useful Book, as Mr. Pool's Dialogues against the Papists, the Assemblies Confession of Faith with the Scriptures, or the like.

On Saturday Evenings, his Children and Servants gave him an Account what they could remember of the Chapters that had been Expounded all the Week before, in order, each a several part, helping one another's Memories for the Recollecting of it. This he called gathering up the Fragments which remained, that nothing might be lost. He would say to them sometimes as Christ to his Disciples, Have ye understood all these things? If not, he took that occasion to explain them more fully. This Exercise (which he constantly kept up all along) was both delightful and profitable, and being managed by him with so much Prudence and sweetness, helped to instil into those about him betimes, the Knowledge and Love of the Holy Scriptures.
