By Cotton Mather and Increase Mather

Book Overview

""A Faithful Man Described And Rewarded"" is a sermon by Increase Mather that was preached in Malden on June 24, 1705, in honor of the late Michael Wigglesworth, a faithful servant of God who had recently passed away. The sermon describes Wigglesworth's life, character, and devotion to God, and emphasizes the rewards that await those who remain faithful to God throughout their lives. Mather draws on biblical passages and other religious texts to provide a compelling argument for the importance of faith and devotion, and to offer comfort and hope to those mourning the loss of Wigglesworth. This edition of the sermon was published in 1849 and remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of American religious thought and practice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
