A sorrowful spectacle. In two sermons, occasioned by a just sentence of death, on a miserable woman, for the murder of a spurious offspring. : The one declaring, the evil of an heart hardened, under and against all means of good. : The other describing, the fearful case of such as in a suffering time, and much more such as in a dying hour, are found without the fear of God. : With some remarkable things, relating to the criminal; proper for all to be informed of. / By Cotton Mather, D.D. and F.R.S. ; [One line from Acts]
Boston: printed by T. Fleet & T. Crump for Samuel Gerrish, 1715

THE Threatening does not make the Effect of Sin to be what it is: No; that had been the same without the Publication of the Curse. That the Wicked shall die is founded in the very Nature of Sin; the Holiness and Essential Dominion of GOD make that Necessary.

THE Threatening of God's Word only lets us know what will be and must be in case of Sin; what the Wisdom and Justice of GOD make Necessary. And why is this made known to us by the Word, but for our Warning; that we may not by Sin, and by continuance therein, bring Death and Damnation upon our selves.
