The catechism, which the Stationer's Register entry indicates was "collected by a poore man" of the Company of Stationers, has a few phrases resembling those in STC 5962 but is so condensed, rearranged, and adapted as to be a different text; it may be related to STC 21496.3. The meditations on the penitential psalmes are taken from G. Du Vair's "Méditation sur les pseaumes de la pénitence de David", in a different translation from STC 7373.6. --STC. Du Vair's Méditation was published as part of 'La saincte philosophie'.
