The childrens Bible [electronic resource] : or, an history of the Holy Scriptures. In which, the several Passages of the Old and New Testament are laid down in a Method never before attempted; being reduced to the tender Capacities of the little Readers, by a lively and striking Abstract, so as, under God, to make those excellent Books take such a firm Hold of their young Minds and Memories, and leave such Impressions there, both of Moral and Religious Virtue, as no Accidents of their future Lives will ever be able to blot out. To which is added A new manual of devotions for children. Consisting of Prayers, suited to their Wants and Understandings; with some devout Hymns, Contemplations, and Exhortations, composed on purpose. By a divine of the Church of England. Adorned with copper-plates.
