QUESTION 38, What benefits do believers receive from Christ at the resurrection? containing the doctrines we are to believe concerning God. The Second Part respects the duty which God requires of man.

- vi - The materials of the following Catechism are collected by several ministers; and it was recommended to three of their number to revise what should be done by so many hands, that there might be a uniformity of style and method, and that repetitions might be prevented as much as possible. It has pleased the Lord to take home to himself one[1] of these three, who assisted in the composing and revising of this First Part; but, though he be dead, he yet speaketh, and will be spoken of, for his excellent works (which have already, or may hereafter see the light), by all those who shall have any relish or taste for sound doctrine and experimental godliness. Whatever loss the Second Part of this Catechism may sustain by the removal of such an able and skilful hand, the other two make not the least doubt but the Lord would carry on this work with as great or greater advantage, though they were laid in the grave likewise.

Meantime, that what is here presented to public view may be blessed of God, for the edification of souls, is, in the name of our brethren, the earnest prayer of EBENEZER ERSKINE.
