Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Increase Mather: The Agent of Massachusetts Colony in England for the Concession of a Charter We do not intend to trace the early life of Increase Mather, interesting as the task would prove, since the services which he performed as a political agent were so widely dissevered from the duties which he fulfilled as a clergyman. It will be sufficient to fay of him, that in 1687 he might be regarded as the leader of the clergy of Massachusetts. The son of a prominent minister, well educated, a powerful preacher, he was chosen in 1664, at the age of twenty-five years, pastor of the Second Church in Boston. He not only attended to his clerical duties with fidelity, but he was gradually forced to accept the burden of other public offices. In 1680, he was Moderator of the Reforming Synod convened to decide upon a Confession of Faith. In 1685, he was appointed acting President of Harvard University, and was thus placed at the head of the educational system of the Colony. He had even ventured to take an active part in politics, by advising the inhabitants of Boston at a town-meeting, after the writ of Quo Warranto against the Charter had been issued, to stand by their privileges and not to give away what was the inheritance of their fathers.
