That document is the Second Edition, printed by Griffin and Rothwel (described in modern webpages as "1658"). The Larger Catechism starts at the page labelled 121.
The document can be computer-searched, but some matches may be missed because of the old-fashioned typeface. If a search-string contains the letter "s", then two searches are worthwhile, one using "s" and one using "f" instead of "s", because of the old-fashioned vertical "s".
Some websites give the impression that they sell or provide the seventeenth century version in modern typeface. Unfortunately a short check indicates that such versions are not the originals. <ref>The check is of the three answers in the Shorter Catechism concerning the eighth commandment, and specifically of the Bible texts listed by the document. The "1658" and "1651" versions both list #*1 Tim 5:8, #*Eph 4:28, #*Ex 20:15, #*Lev 25:35, #*Prov 28:19, Deut 22:1-5, Ex 23:4,5, Gen 30:30, Gen 47:14,20, Prov 21:17, Prov 23:20f. The # indicates that the reference is retained in a modern version. The * indicates that the reference is retained in a nineteenth-century American version. References which are not so marked are suppressed in both those modern-typeface versions, which also have added other references.</ref>
