ARTICLE V. A Return to New-England; and the Station assigned there.
MR. Mather hoped for some shelter to be had, and service to be done, in his own Country, and proposed what once the•e had been little Hope for; To see his Invaluable Father before he Died. Wherefore on June 29 1661. he sailed from Weymouth, in a Vessel Bound for Newfoundland. He Arrived there in August: And staying there no more than Ten Da••, a Vessel bound for New-England Opportunely Presented, in which he reached thither by the first of September. He came to Dorchester, very unexpected on a Saturday Evening; But the Tears of Joy mutually poured out, at his first Interview with his Father!—His Brother Eleazar was also just come thither, from a Remote place where he was now Stationed in the Country; And the Comforted Old Patriarch, sat Shining like the S•• in Gemini, and hearing his two Sons, in his own Pulpit entertain the People of GOD, with Performances, that made all People Proclaim him, An Happy Father.
