Letter from the Rev. Richard Baxter, to the Rev. Increase Mather.

Dear Brother,

"I thought I had been near dying at twelve 'clock in bed, but your book revived me; I lay eading it until between one and two. I knew uch of Mr Eliot's opinions by many letters which I had from him. There was no man on arth whom I honoured above him. It is his Evangelical Work, that is, the Apostolical Succeson, that I plead for. I am now dying, I hope, as e did. It pleased me to read from him my case:

My understanding faileth, my memory faileth, my tongue faileth, [and my hand and pen fail,] but my charity faileth not. That word much comforted

me.

"I loved your FATHER upon the letters I r ceived from him. I love you better for you learning, labours, and peaceable moderation. love YOUR SON better than either of you, for the excellent temper that appeareth in his writing O that godliness and wisdom thus INCREASE all families! He hath honoured himself HALF MUCH as Mr Eliot; I say, but HALF AS MUC for DEEDS excel WORDS. God preserve you New-England! Pray for your fainting, langus ing friend,

August 3, 1691.
