S of the Reformed Religion in America. The Life of the Re- nowned John Eliot ; A Person justly Famous in the Church of God, Not only as an Eminent Christian, and an Excellent Minister, among the English, But also, As a Memorable Evan- gelist among the Indians, of New-England ; With some Account concerning the late, and 47 strange Success of the Gospel, in those parts of the World, which for many Ages have lain Buried in Pagan Ignorance. Written by Cot- ton Mather. Boston, Printed by Benjamin Ha...rris, and John xA. Llen, for Joseph Brunning at the corner of the Prison-Lane. IfiiH Lent hy Mr. George E. Littlefield. Cotton Mather presents us with the lile of that remarkable man, Rev. John Eliot, who came to New England in 1631, and, having been appointed teacher of the church at Roxbury, added to his labors by endeavoring to Christianize the Indians. Mather tells us how Eliot experienced difficulties that he had not anticipated, and how he over- came those difficulties. How he discovered that before the Indians would be able to understand the truths of Christianity they must first be civilized ; they must be induced to give up their nomadic life ; they must be taught to read and write ; and that, in order to present to them the gospel truths in a convincing manner, he must preach and teach in their language.
