| Item Description: | In four parts. The author's preface is followed by an Epistle to the reader, subscribed by Edward Hopkins and William Goodwin, Hartford, 28 Oct., 1647; a poem "In obitum viri doctissimi Thomæ Hookeri," by Samuel Stone; two shorter poems by John Cotton and E. Rogers; and a further commendation to the reader by Thomas Goodwin, April 17, 1648. To some copies of the work John Cotton's "The way of Congregational churches cleared" was appended. Mr. Cotton's treatise continues the answers to Rutherford, begun by Mr. Hooker in part 1, chap. 10, which ends on pages 139; the next page is blank, and chapter 11 follows, numbered 185 with a new signature. It is thought that it may have been the intention of the editors to incorporate Mr. Cotton's work in this division of the Survey, between pages 139 and 185. Master microform held by: UnM.
