Collected partly out of the Printed Books, but chiefly out of the Original Manuscripts of the First and Chiefe Fathers in the New-English Churches...Published for the Benefit of those who are of the rising Generation in New-England. -- A Discourse Concerning the Subject of Baptisme, Wherein the Present Controversies, That are Agitated in the New English Churches are From Scripture and Reason Modestly Enquired into. Both Cambridge: Samuel Green, 1675.
2 volumes in one, 4o (188 x 134 mm). (Small repairs to gutter margins of first work, second work lacking G3 and last leaf K4, these supplied in facsmile, several pages with marginal repairs, a few headlines and shoulder notes just shaved.) Late eighteenth- or early nineteenth-century tree calf, spine with two red morocco gilt-lettered labels, edges sprinkled blue, some deckle edges preserved. Provenance: "Jno Cotton" (ink signatures in margins of both works, ink notes in text); George Brinley (small book-label on front pastedown).
THE BRINLEY COPY OF TWO VERY RARE MATHER TRACTS. The two works contain Mather's consideration of the then controversial subjects of baptism and communion, based on the writings--published and manuscript--of earlier New England divines and the recommendations of the 1662 Synod. "The arguments here...may fairly be regarded as key to New England thought on those questions" (Holmes). Evans 207, 208; Holmes 37, 54; Sabin 46661, 46663. Rare: the last copy of the first title sold at auction was in 1978.
