A64231	A practical and short exposition of the catechism of the Church of England by way of question and answer. Wherein the divine authority and reasonableness of every question and answer, every doctrin and practice in it recommended, are evidenced and improved against most contemners of it and dissenters from it.

Humbly offered for the good of schools and youth. By Nathanael Taylor, M.A.	Taylor, Nathanael, d. 1702.	1683 (1683)	Wing T544B; ESTC R222427	64,394	147
