Excerpt from Exercises on the Heidelberg Catechism: Adapted to the Use of Families, Sabbath-Schools, and Catechetical Classes In fixing upon the definitions given, a strict regard was paid to the meaning of the word or phrase in the connection in which it stands. It was made a general rule, also, in separating the doc trines, to bring out all comprehended under each question and answer, although some of them may be found in another place under some other form. The proof-texts, as contained in the received copies of the Catechism, have been used as far as practi cable. 'it was found necessary, however, to add greatly to their number, and in the choice of texts the preference was given, as far as it could be done, to such as are found in the New Testa ment. In the arrangement of the doctrines and the questions in the exercises, a particular regard was paid to system, which, it was believed, would add essentially to the value of the work. Much labor was originally bestowed upon the preparation of the work, and no small amount now again upon its revision, but if 'it shall be found in the end to have contributed in any way toward rendering the study of this admirable system of divine truths more general, and, at the same time, more pleasant and profitable, the author will consider himself amply rewarded for all his labor.
