D & G. To be taught in Schools. Prec: Romans Cicero.
I do not know exactly how many trades it has been
observed in mentioned and observed mentioned to no purpose, that the
Roman Laws of the 12 Tables used, according
to Cicero to be part into the hands of their
children to get by heart as a carman necessarium,
a necessary exercise: As our
Laws instead of being contained in the 12 Brass
tables unhappily take up 10 quarto Volumes
each of which would hold the contents of
some hundreds of such Brass Tables, 121 Volumes
to which a thirteenth an elusive a 12th of equal bulk is making
haste to join itself, those to whom observation
has been [principally] addressed, have
found means to proceed themselves without much found no great difficulty in satisfying themselves[+] [+] that the wisdom of the Romans can be as to them

that this may be a rule to them: a rule
which it is possible to them (& surely if possible it
is as incumbent) them to observe, as to those
by whom it was ordained who are those mentioned to have ordained it
from where it is taken made And this I
say, although even as I am of a small
of somewhat above 12 times 12 such volumes
in which that part of the Laws is written, which the Proposers
of them have been pleased to distinguish by the
appellation of unwritten, to say nothing at
In present of the contents of one knows not nobody knows
how many Volumes of the like Laws which
should be written which no body no man is to know
& which every body man is to obey.

in past times have had charge of our spiritual
concerns have not thought themselves
be barred from the power nor dispensed
from the obligation, of extracting a summary
which or to for that topic should be made, & which
is actually made a carman necessarium; & they have
done well - They have done well, if not altogether as
to the execution at least as to the design.

Catechism 2

The composition has merit for the age: but I cannot think of it so lightly as not to think that the many able & learned Prelates who now fuill the Bench our Bishops might, & if they were to undertake it, would compose a better one that should directing by directing the views of the young catechist with somewhat more steadiness and precision to the great end of finding happinesss for himself hereafter, by seeking it for others here: should fit them to it by a detail of the peculiar motives of it with which his Religion furnishes him with
Let them learn the dictates prescriptions of temporal utility felicity
with the word of eternal life

I would shall not dispute say nothing to the disparagement the utility of
those various points of instruction which that
Summary affords.

It may be very useful:] tho' I can't see
it, that a child should know
That he is to renounce the Flesh he is
made of, the Devil he knows not what to
make of, and the world he lives in.

That what is given him for the body and
blood of Christ, is true blood & body and
no counterfeit.

That there are two Sacraments

The information is as precise as it is practical;
and as useful as it is precise.
But .... in a political view
It might be nearly as useful for them
to know how many crimes there were
of the first class as how many Sacraments
and seeming they might chance to learn as much
of their duty by learning being told they were to renounce
them on pain of death, as by being told they
were to renounce the works of the World
the Flesh and the Devil.
