This is an unusual book made up of the catechetical writings of three authors - William Allen, John Kettlewell [Kettelwell] and Thomas Bray. It has a title page dated 1699, but each individual discourse has its own title page, usually dated 1703. The book is quarto (12 inches by 8 inches) and bound in full brown calf. The binding is rubbedand the joints are beginning to crack, but the book is intact and the contents are generally good to very good. The contents are as follows: (1) William Allen - Certain select disourses on thos emost important subjects, requisite to be well understood by a Catechist in laying the foundation of Christian Knowledge in the minds of Novitiates, viz, first, discourse on the doctrine of the two covenants both legal and evangical, and on faith and justification. [x], 69pp; [vi], 24pp. (2) John Kettlewell - the practical believer, or the articles of the Apostels creed, drawn out to form a true Christian's heart, and practice. [viii], 112pp, [viii], pp141-192, pp 53-120. (3) Thomas Bray - Catechetical lectures on the preliminary questions and answers of the church-catechism, giving an account of the whole doctrine of the Covenant of Grace, and of the nature, terms and conditions of the same, shewing also by whose meditation it was obtained for us, by what asistance we shall be enabled to perform it, and our obligations thereunto. [xxx], 344pp. The British Library have a copy of Allen's work bound with Kettlewell's work, in which the pagination of Kettlewell is the same as this copy. The British Library copy does not include the work by Thomas Bray. The overall 1699 title page covers Allen and Bray, but makes no mention of the Kettlewell work. Thomas Bray (1656 - 1730) was influential in the creation of the Society for the Propagation of Christian Knowledge and was heavily involved in organising the Church of England in Maryland.…
