An Ample Declaration of the Christian Doctrine

St. Robert Bellarmine

The longer catechism in dialogue form: the Creed, the Our Father, the Hail Mary, the commandments, the sacraments, the virtues, sins and the last things (1598). The Italian is the Vivès edition (1870-74) from an OCR scan; the English is Richard Hadock's translation of 1604 (EEBO-TCP), in the spelling of its time.
