The faith of the fathers. Or, The articles of the true religion, all of them exhibited in the express words of the Old Testament. Partly, to confirm those who do possess that religion of God, and His Messiah. But chiefly, to engage the Jewish nation, unto the religion of their patriarchs; and, bring down the hearts of the fathers into the children, and the disobedient unto the wisdom of the just; and so, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord. / By Cotton Mather. ; [Four lines of quotation]
