A translation of the Racovian catechism. The catechism was begun by Faustus Socinus, who died before the work was completed. It was reworked and completed by Valentin Smalcius, Hieronim Moskorzewski, and Johannes Völker. See E.M. Wilbur, "The history of Unitarianism", chap. 31.

Likely a false imprint; McLachlan suggests this was translated by and printed for John Biddle (in London?). See: H. John McLachlan, "Socinianism in Seventeenth-Century England" p. 190 ff.

The first leaf is blank.

Text is continuous despite pagination.
