Synopsis

A Practical Exposition Of The Church-Catechism, Several Discourses. Together With Two Discourses, One On Confessing Christ Before Men. The Other, The Great Sin Of Denying Him by Matthew Hole presents an Anglican Puritan catechetical program that systematizes the Church Catechism around the moral law and devotional practice. It provides a thorough expository treatment of the latter part of the Ten Commandments, focusing on the Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth Commandments, and moves from negative prohibitions to positive duties such as restitution, truth-telling, temperance, and justice. Central to the work are two discourses on the Love of God and the Love of Neighbour, which are shown to summarize all duties and to govern obedience, including respect for authorities, marriage, honest labor, and charity. A concluding connection ties these loves to the two commandments and the whole law. Prefatory material and a practical exposition of the Lord’s Prayer frame devotion, while sacramental sections on Baptism and the Lord’s Supper, and two sermons on confessing versus denying Christ, extend the tract within an 18th-century Anglican framework.
