The Parliaments rules and directions concerning sacramentall knowledge contained in an ordinance of the Lords and Commons of the 20th of October 1645. Drawn into questions and answers: (which answers in the bigger character are the ordinance it self in the words of it.) With an addition of Scripture-proofs: and some brief directions for self-examination. By Robert Austin, D.D. For the use of the place where he himself is pastour; and the benefit of such other people, as stand in need of the like help.

Abstract

The title page is conjugate with a leaf with signature-mark [sec.] which contains "Rules and directions concerning suspention from the sacrament of the Lords Supper in cases of ignorance", a reprinting of the ordinance. These two leaves possibly were intended to cancel the separate dated title page on A1 which lacks the words "contained in an ordinance .. October 1645.". Running title reads: Directions for communicants. Annotation on Thomason copy: "Jan: 15 1646"; the 7 in the imprint date has been crossed out. Reproduction of the original in the British Library.
