Excerpt from A List of Early American Imprints Belonging to the Library of the Massachusetts Historical Society: With an Introduction and Notes This was reprinted (1889) in fac-simile, by order of the City Council of Boston, under the supervision of our associate, Wil liam H. Whitmore, Esq., Record Commissioner. The title is copied from the reprint as given on page 119 of that work. The Doctrine I of Godliness [a Catechism by John Norton]. 16mo. Pp. 3 - 22. Titlepage wanting, 3-22, The Doctrine I of Godliness, has a border line of ten pieces at the top of page 3, and an ornamented initial letter W at the beginning. Rev. Thomas Prince, in his Catalogue, says that this tract by Norton was printed first in the year 1660, and again in 1666. Dr. Felt, in his History of Ipswich, by inference refers the date of publication to 1664. This title is given in Dr. Haven's supplementary list under 1660 and 1666.
