Subtitle: wherein, by going through all the chapters of The confession of faith, one by one, and propounding out of them, by way of question, all the controverted assertions : and answering by yes, or no, there is a clear confirmation of the truth : and an evident confutation of what tenets and opinions, are maintain'd by the adversaries : a treatise most useful for all persons, who desire to be instructed in the true Protestant religion, who would shun in these last days, and perillous times, the infection of errors and heresies, and all dangerous tenets and opinions, contrary to the word of God.

"The epistle dedicatory" of the original 1684 ed. was signed by the translator: Geo. Sinclar.  The book is a translation of the Latin lectures on the Westminster Confession of Faith (Praelectiones in confessionem fidei), which circulated in ms. among Prof. Dickson's pupils. The work was published by Sinclair as his own work, and was not published under Dickson's name until 1726.  Cf. Halkett & Laing.
