And in conclusion it reflects to the disrepute of our ministers also, of whose labours we should hope better, and of the proficiency which their flock reaps by them, than that after all this light of the Gospel which is, and is to be, and all this continual preaching, they should still be frequented with such an unprincipled, unedified and laic rabble, as that the whiff of every new pamphlet should stagger them out of their catechism and Christian walking.
"By study of the catechism, of course," answered Gilcrest. "Once rooted and grounded in that, he will not be liable to fall into error later on, and put wrong interpretations on the Holy Scriptures. I'd rather have the Bible a sealed book to the unconverted, so that the Spirit may work untrammeled and sovereignly on his heart." "Ah!
A child learns his Creed or Catechism before he understands it; and in beginning any deep subject we are all but children to the end of our lives.
Such was the curt remark which ended du Bousquier's meditation. He plumed himself on belonging to the class of cynical philosophers who could never be "taken in" by women, putting them, one and all, unto the same category, as suspicious.

"Father," said Apollo, "you have no right to abuse our spiritual pastors and masters." Notwithstanding his heathenish name, it will be seen by this remark that some of his time was occupied learning the church catechism. "I stand corrected, my son," said Mr. Delaney, "or, rather, at the present moment, I lie corrected. Well, children, the truth must out Aunt Jane took me by surprise.
You have to learn the paraphrases and the shorter catechism; you generally take to drink; your youth, as far as I can find out, is a time of louder war against society, of more outcry and tears and turmoil, than if you had been born, for instance, in England.
But the reason, replied Yorick, equally holds good for her. She is under authority herself, said my father: and besides, continued my father, nodding his head, and laying his finger upon the side of his nose, as he assigned his reason, she is not the principal agent, Yorick. In what, quoth my uncle Toby? stopping his pipe. I can read it as well, replied Yorick, in the Catechism.
It is very rare to find any person who is able to give a distinct account of the life even of one whom he has known intimately, without questions being put to them. My friend Dr. Kippis has told me, that on this account it is a practice with him to draw out a biographical catechism. Johnson then proceeded to Oxford, where he was again kindly received by Dr. Adams.
