Westminster Shorter Catechism

Edition notes

The sources behind the three commentaries, and the changes made to prepare them for reading.

The catechism is the centre of the shared 52-week plan. John Flavel, Thomas Watson, and John Wallis are optional companions to it. Their works differ in length and scope; the weekly divisions and study prompts were prepared for this app.

John Flavel

An Exposition of the Assembly’s Catechism

The complete question-and-answer exposition and both historical prefaces are included. English spelling has been updated, while the historical grammar, theological vocabulary, and argument remain.

Attribution of the final questions. Flavel died before the work was finished. Questions 103–107 belong to the unsigned continuation printed with the work, as the historical preface explains.

Sources and rights

Modern website design and surrounding editorial material are not reproduced. The rebuilt EPUB is a reading edition of the historic work.

Spelling and letter-case ledger 17

Reading editionwhat givest thou him? but by manifesting his glory with the lips;

1692 CC0 TEI places the question mark after him and the semicolon after Lips. Restores the boundary between Job 35:7 and Flavel’s explanation.

1692 CC0 TEI: Psal. 141.4. Incline not my heart to any evil thing. The quoted words are also verified against the bundled KJV Psalm 141:4.

A retained historical reference error: the continuation quotes Psalm 135:6 but prints “Psal. 125:6.” Both early witnesses contain that reference. The printed citation remains, with an explanation in the Bible lookup.

Thomas Watson

A Body of Practical Divinity

This is the extended sermon exposition of doctrine, the Ten Commandments, and the Lord’s Prayer: approximately 475,000 words. It is mapped to the same weekly catechism topics, with substantially longer readings than the other companions.

Question 107. This source has no separate exposition of the Lord’s Prayer’s doxology. The final week identifies that limit; no missing sermon has been invented.

Remaining source gaps. The TCP transcription omits 490 portions of foreign-language text, principally Greek and Hebrew. These remain visibly marked. One English word on printed page 429 is obscured by ink; the later witnesses omit that whole question, so it has not been guessed.

Sources and rights

The published text retains the 1692 work’s structure and argument. Targeted repairs and spelling updates do not constitute an exhaustive critical edition.

5,802 occurrences were updated. The table records spelling and letter-case changes, including repeated forms. Historical grammar, theological terms, British usage, and the author’s argument remain. Context-dependent corrections are listed separately below.

John Wallis

A Brief and Easy Explanation of the Shorter Catechism

The complete 1657 sixth edition has been transcribed directly from its page images: all 107 catechism questions and 632 short explanatory questions, arranged into 52 weekly readings. The original title page, imprimatur, address to the reader, and appended Ten Commandments, Lord’s Prayer, and Creed are included.

The reading text modernizes spelling and light punctuation. The original print is also available as a facsimile PDF, alongside the reflowable EPUB. This transcription does not use a modern adapted edition.

Question 4: “justice.” Both the 1648 and 1657 printed answers omit “justice,” although the following dialogue discusses it. The handwritten insertion in the scanned copy is not part of the print. Wallis’s answer retains the omission; the app’s separate canonical catechism answer includes the word.

Printed Yes/No answers. Several responses appear inconsistent with their questions, notably the opening responses under Q40 (q40-d1 and q40-d2). They are retained as printed, including unusual answers under Q4, Q36 (q36-d4), Q48 (q48-d2), and Q98. The comparison notes below identify them so that a printing peculiarity is not silently presented as an editorial correction.

Sources and rights
  • Sixth edition (1657)Complete public-domain original, directly transcribed and visually checked from the printed pages.
  • First edition (1648)Public-domain comparison witness used to resolve unclear letters and verify selected printing-error corrections.

Original readings, page boundaries, proof references, and editorial changes are retained in the transcription record. The notes distinguish the printed text from handwritten additions and later corrections.

Changes to the catechism’s reading text 351

Original transcription and final reading text are shown side by side, including the final British spelling and punctuation pass. Page fragments are joined as they are in the published book. Catchwords, running headers, signatures, and manuscript additions are not silently inserted into the author’s text.

To the Reader · passage 5

Source readingThat which I have done in it, is onely the adding of those shorter Questions, which are answered by Yes, or No, standing directly opposite to them, whereby several particulars of the larger Answer are distinctly pointed to, and briefly explained to the apprehension of weak capacities, which they would be apt either not to observe, or not to understand, if they did onely learn that large Answer by rote. All which is done without charging the learners memory; for to answer these short Questions, is not so much an exercise of the memory, as of the judgment, being able to distinguish between the truth and falshood, assenting to the one and denying the other; Yea, the memory is much helped by it, there being nothing in the general Answer, but what they are put in minde of by some of the Questions. In the use of it, especially for weak capacities, the Instructor may first rehearse the main Question, without expecting a present Answer thereunto, till he hath asked all the shorter Questions belonging to it, and received answers to them: then repeating the main Question, the learner will be better able to give the general Answer to the whole, when he hath already assented to all of it by parts. Yet the judicious instructer is not so limited, but that if need be he may vary from it, either in method or matter, by addition, omission, or alteration, as he sees occasion. If thou receive any good from these endeavours, let God have the glory, and he shall have his end, Who is,

Reading editionThat which I have done in it is only the adding of those shorter questions, which are answered by Yes or No, standing directly opposite to them, whereby several particulars of the larger answer are distinctly pointed to, and briefly explained to the apprehension of weak capacities, which they would be apt either not to observe, or not to understand, if they did only learn that large answer by rote.

Printed peculiarities and comparison notes 53

These notes distinguish retained readings from verified corrections. Some original references contain apparent printing errors and may not identify an existing Bible verse.

Q2 · Printed page 1

The printed proof d begins 1.2,3,4 in this 1657 image; the earlier verified sample conflated it with 1648 1.1,2,3,4. Retain this edition's reference.

Q4 · Printed page 2

The printed answer omits justice in both 1648 and 1657. A handwritten insertion of justice is visible above a caret in the 1657 copy; it is recorded here rather than silently included as printed text. The dialogue on printed pages 3 and 4 explicitly includes justice.

Q4 · Printed page 2

Proofs f and h are printed John 1.24 and Ps.2; these are not silently substituted with John 4:24 and Psalm 90:2. The 1648 printed page 2 corroborates both unusual references.

Q4 · Printed page 2

The printed dialogue question "And, Shall he never have an end?" has the printed response No. Both wording and response are retained; the earlier surrounding eternal-being dialogue supplies the intended doctrine.

Q4 · Printed page 3

Question d30 includes printed "not" and is answered No; retain both wording and answer without changing the logical form.

Q7 · Printed page 5

Dialogue d5 prints "nothing now but what" with response No. This potentially inconsistent wording/response is retained for explicit editorial review.

Q9 · Printed page 6

The answer prints "the word of power"; the word "his" is inserted by hand above a caret. Printed wording is retained separately from the handwritten insertion. Dialogue d3 explicitly prints "his power".

Q11 · Printed page 7

Proof u is printed Psalm 147.17, which is retained rather than silently changed to Psalm 145:17.

Q16 · Printed page 9

The printed main answer has "fell with him" but omits the separate "sinned in him" clause familiar from the canonical catechism. Dialogue d3 explicitly affirms that all sinned with Adam. No clause is silently added.

Q18 · Printed page 9

The second Romans proof reads Rom.5.10 to20 in this copy. It is retained rather than silently changed to Romans3:10–20.

Q19 · Printed page 10

The printed proof is Rom.6.29; the reading transcription preserves this rather than silently changing it to Romans6:23.

Q22 · Printed page 11

The question prints "becomes man" after "did"; the reading variant minimally regularizes this to "become man".

Q23 · Printed page 12

The enlarged 1657 detail and the 1648 printed page12 both clearly print 2Cor.13.33. This is a source printing error, not an unresolved transcription. The raw and reading references retain 33.

Q23 · Printed page 12

The 1657 proof abbreviates Hebrews12:25 as Hab.; the 1648 printed page12 clearly reads Heb.12.25. The reading variant restores Heb. with this earlier printed witness.

Q25 · Printed page 13

Dialogue d5 prints "no more" with response No. Both are retained for explicit editorial review rather than changing the response.

Q26 · Printed page 13

The final Psalm reference is printed "Psal.1." followed by "10." on the next line. It is preserved as Psal.1.10 rather than silently resolved to Psalm110.

Q26 · Printed page 13

Dialogue d10 crosses the page within the word exposed: join expo- + sed by removing the line-end hyphen, with no added space.

Q27 · Printed page 14

Proof k is printed "Acts 24.25,26,27,31." The intended chapter/verse division is not silently supplied.

Q27 · Printed page 14

Proof i prints 1Cor.15.3 rather than verse4; retained.

Q28 · Printed page 15

Proof marker n is present before Eph.1.20 in the proofs, but no corresponding n is legible after Father in the answer. No marker is silently added to the printed-answer field.

Q30 · Printed page 16

The 1657 proof prints Eph.1.8. The clearly legible 1648 printed page16 gives Eph.2.8 in the same position. The reading variant restores Eph.2.8; the raw printed reference remains Eph.1.8.

Q31 · Printed page 16

The 1657 ink-obscured Ezekiel reference is confirmed as Ezek.36.26,27 by the clear 1648 printed page16. The enlarged1657 detail also supports these figures.

Q35 · Printed page 18

Proof l is printed Rom. 6.46. with no comma between 4 and 6; retained as printed. Romans 6 has no verse 46.

Q36 · Printed page 19

Dialogue q36-d4 visibly has Yes in the 1657 response column, although the negative question conflicts with the preceding answers. The printed response is retained.

Q37 · Printed page 19

Proof r prints Phil. 1.2,3., with a comma between 2 and 3. The edition retains this reading rather than silently substituting Phil. 1.23.

Q38 · Printed page 20

The printed answer omits an inline y marker although a proof y appears below it. The proof is retained separately.

Q40 · Printed page 20

The first two printed responses are No and Yes respectively, contrary to the catechism answer beside them. Both are retained as printed.

Q40 · Printed page 20

Proof b is printed Rom. 1.14,15., not Rom. 2.14,15.; retained as printed.

Q44 · Printed page 22

Proof f visibly reads Luk. 4.74,75. in the 1657 print, although Luke 4 has no verses 74–75; retained as printed.

Q46 · Printed page 22

The printed proof references Deut. 26.27. and Mark 4.10. are retained. Deuteronomy 26 has no verse 27.

Q48 · Printed page 23

Dialogue q48-d2 is printed Yes despite its negative wording. The response is retained.

Q48 · Printed page 23

Proof o is printed Ezra 8.5. to the end.; retained as printed.

Q51 · Printed page 24

The answer has an inline s marker, but only proof r is printed on this page. No additional proof is supplied editorially.

Q55 · Printed page 26

Proof e visibly begins Mal. 6.7,12. in the 1657 print; Malachi has no chapter 6. This reading is retained.

Q61 · Printed page 28

The inline p marker appears in the answer; the corresponding Acts 20.7,9. proof has no separately printed p before it. The proof is paired with p in this reflowed structure.

Q70 · Printed page 31

The left catchword is printed 72. Q., although the following page begins question 71. The catchword is not part of the catechism text.

Q75 · Printed page 33

The answer visibly repeats the syllable neigh across two lines (neigh- / neighbors). The printed duplication is retained in the diplomatic text and removed in the reading text.

Q81 · Printed page 35

The final proof is printed "Deut. 21." without a chapter/verse pair; retained as printed.

Q82 · Printed page 36

The proof label preceding Eccl. 7.20 resembles u in the printed footnote although the answer marker is y; it is paired with y here.

Q86 · Printed page 38

The answer prints "as he his offered"; the reading text corrects the evident extra h. The proof marker e appears with the catchword grace on the preceding page.

Q87 · Printed page 39

The displayed proof sequence does not supply a separately printed k reference; the i reference continues onto this page.

Q92 · Printed page 41

The proofs are printed Gen. 7.7,10 and 1 Cor. 21.23,26; their apparent incorrect chapter numbers have not been silently changed.

Q98 · Printed page 44

The response beside "May we pray to none but God?" is clearly printed No; it is retained rather than silently rephrasing the question or changing the response.

Q102 · Printed page 47

Mat. 6.10 is printed without a visible letter in the proof line; it is assigned the otherwise unused a in the sequence for pairing.

Q105 · Printed page 49

The Daniel proof is printed without its chapter number.

Q106 · Printed page 49

The printed proof label before Mat. 26.41 is o, although p marks keeping us from temptation in the answer; the original label is retained.

Q107 · Printed page 50

The printed answer has assure; a handwritten insertion supplies ance. The reading assurance is also confirmed by the 1648 edition, printed page52, source PDF page64, and by this page's final dialogue question.

Q107 · Printed page 50

The preposition before God in the first dialogue question is obscured by ink/handwritten correction. Reading from is visually confirmed by the 1648 edition, printed page52, source PDF page64 (research/wallis-transcription/witness-1648-question107.png).

Q107 · Printed page 50

The proof reference Mat. 6.13 is printed without its visible r label; r is supplied for pairing with the answer.

To the Reader

The enlarged 1657 source reads "being endeed", not "being ended". This historical spelling is normalized to "being indeed" in the reading text; the 1648 edition clearly prints "being indeed" in the same passage.

To the Reader

The 1657 source prints "had God afforded himself to see". The 1648 edition clearly prints "had God afforded him life to see". The raw field retains the 1657 wording; the reading text restores "him life" from the earlier printed witness.

The catechism and Scripture

The 107 questions and answers follow the historical Westminster Shorter Catechism text published by the OPC. The app’s canonical proof texts come from the OPC’s revised proof collection, whose preface explains its editorial history. These are distinct from each commentator’s own printed references.

Offline passages use the King James Version from Open Bibles / eBible.org. This historical Bible text is public domain in the United States; the source’s territorial rights notice is retained with the archived source. Historical reference errors are preserved unless a documented correction is supported by the comparison witness.

The app

These editions preserve the authors’ arguments while making the books easier to navigate and read. The ledgers document applied changes and retained difficulties; they do not claim exhaustive proofreading or a definitive critical text.
