§. 25. The Three Sermons, thus Published, as the Last, or the Dropped Mantle of this Elijah, are Accompanied with the Translation of a Letter, which was composed in Latin, by Mr. Norton, and Subscribed by more than Forty of the Ministers, on this Occasion. The Famous John •urn, having from the year 1635. been most Indefatigably Labouring for a Pacification, between the Reformed Churches in Europe, communicated his Design to the Ministers of New-England, requesting their Concurrence and Countenance unto his Generous Undertaking. In Answer to Him, this Letter was Written; and there are One or Two Passages, which I choose to Transcribe from it, because, as well the Spirit of our Norton, as the Story of our Country, is therein Indigitated.
