The General Assembly having seriously considered the SHORTER
CATECHISM agreed upon by the Assembly of Divines sitting at
Westminster, with assistance of Commissioners from this Kirk; do
find, upon due examination thereof, that the said Catechism is
agreeable to the word of God, and in nothing contrary to the received

intended uniformity, to be a Directory for catechising such as are of
weaker capacity.
