She died on the 28th Dec, 1694. Was Dau. of James II, by A. Hyde. [134] The "perplexing war" of this Period is sketched with a Master's Hand by Macaulay in his _History of England_. [135] The Honorable Samuel Sewall. He worshipped at the _Old_ South Church. His Name will be found inscribed upon the Plan of the House in Mr. Wisner's _History_, Page 102, denoting the Pew which he occupied. Its internal Arrangement is much the same now. [136] Both Mather and Calef have avoided giving Lists of the Trial Jurors, doubtless to avoid increasing the number of their Pages. The Records (that remain) are very imperfect in this, as well as in many other Respects, already noticed. On this Period much remains to be done. [_Postscript._] POSTSCRIPT. _Since making the foregoing Collections of Letters, to the Reverend Mr._ Cotton Mather, _and others, &c. (which as yet remain unanswered) a Book is come to hand Intituled_, THE _Life of Sir_ William Phips, _printed in_ London, 1697. Which Book, tho it bears not the Authors name, yet the Stile, manner and matter is such, that were there no other demonstration or token to know him by, it were no Witchcraft to determine that the said Mr. _C. M._ is the Author of it. But that he that has _encountred Enchantments_, and gone through the _Wonders of the Invisible World_, and _discovered the Devil_, that he should step aside into a Remote Country to put on Invisibility! Tho the reason of this be not so manifest, yet it may be thought to be to gratifie some peculiar fancies; and why may not this be one, that he might with the better grace extol the Actions of Mr. _Mather_, as Agent in England, or as President of _Harvard_ College, not forgetting his own.[137] As to Sir _William_, it will be generally _acknowledged_ that notwithstanding the meanness of his Parentage and Education, he attain'd to be Master of a Ship, and that he had the good hap to find a _Spanish_ Wreck, not only sufficient to repair his Fortunes, but to raise him to a considerable Figure; which King _James_ did so far accommodate as to make _him a Knight_. [146] And that after this, in the Reign of his Present Majesty, _he took up with those of the Agents, that were for accepting the New Charter, whereby himself became Governour_.[138]
