PROLOGUE |
Because the Master of Catholic Truth ought not only to teach the |
proficient, but also to instruct beginners (according to the Apostle: |
As Unto Little Ones in Christ, I Gave You Milk to Drink, Not Meat-- |
1 Cor. iii. 1, 2)--we purpose in this book to treat of whatever |
belongs to the Christian Religion, in such a way as may tend to the |
instruction of beginners. We have considered that students in this |
Science have not seldom been hampered by what they have found written |
by other authors, partly on account of the multiplication of useless |
questions, articles, and arguments; partly also because those things |
that are needful for them to know are not taught according to the |
order of the subject-matter, but according as the plan of the book |
might require, or the occasion of the argument offer; partly, too, |
because frequent repetition brought weariness and confusion to the |
minds of the readers. |
Endeavoring to avoid these and other like faults, we shall try, by |
God's help, to set forth whatever is included in this Sacred Science |
as briefly and clearly as the matter itself may allow. |

QUESTION 1 |
THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF SACRED DOCTRINE |
(in Ten Articles) |
To place our purpose within proper limits, we first endeavor to |
investigate the nature and extent of this sacred doctrine. Concerning |
this there are ten points of inquiry: |
(1) Whether it is necessary? |
(2) Whether it is a science? |
(3) Whether it is one or many? |
(4) Whether it is speculative or practical? |
