An essay towards an instruction for the Indians; explaining the most essential doctrines of Christianity. Which may be of use to such Christians, as have not well considered the meaning of the religion they profess; or, who profess to know God, but in works do deny Him. In several short and plain dialogues. Together with directions and prayers for the heathen world, missionaries, catechumens, private persons, families, of parents, for their children, for Sundays, &c.
