Excerpt from Journal of Richard Mather, 1635, And, His Life and Death, 1670 The other portion - the Life and Death of Richard though professedly not written by his son Increase Mather, was, as will be seen, originally sent forth under his name and sanction, in the form of a dedication To the Church and Inhabitants of Dorchester in N. E. He was the youngest son of Richard, was settled as a min ister in Boston, was President of Harvard College, and father of the no less celebrated Cotton Mather. This is a reprint from the first edition, published in Cambridge in 1670, a copy of which has been kindly loaned by J. Win gate Thornton, Esq., of Boston - to whom the reader is also indebted for the interesting and valuable notes at the end of this volume, containing some new historical facts.
