""John Wheelwright, His Writings"" is a collection of writings by John Wheelwright, a prominent Puritan minister in colonial New England during the mid-1600s. The book includes two of his most famous works: his Fast-Day Sermon, delivered in 1637 in response to a drought that was plaguing the region, and his Mercurius Americanus, a pamphlet published in 1645 that criticized the English government's treatment of the colonies. In addition to these two works, the book contains several other sermons and letters written by Wheelwright, providing readers with insight into his religious beliefs and political views. The book also includes an introduction that provides historical context for Wheelwright's writings and discusses his role in the Antinomian Controversy, a theological dispute that shook the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the 1630s. Overall, ""John Wheelwright, His Writings"" is an important resource for scholars and students of colonial American history, offering a glimpse into the mind of one of the most influential religious figures of his time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
