Mr. Woodward informs the Editor, that he copied it from a Copy of Mr. Calef's Work in the Library of the Massachusetts Hist. Society, which once belonged to Dr. COTTON MATHER, and afterwards to Dr. Jeremy Belknap. Hence it is very probable that this Copy was presented to Dr. Mather by the Author. However this may have been, the following Extract, written in Dr. Mather's own Hand in the same Volume, seems odd indeed: "Job, xxxi, 35, 36. My Desire is, _that_ mine Adversary had written a Book. Surely I would take it upon my Shoulder, and bind it as a Crown to me." "CO. MATHER." ERRATA.
