Excerpt from Journal of Travels From New-Hampshire to Caratuck, on the Continent of North-America This did greatly Alarm the Independent Preachers at Boston. Whereupon Mr. Increase Mather, one of the chief of them, was set on Work to Print against my Sermon, as accordingly he did, and Published a small Treatise against the said six Rules, wherein he laboured to prove them all false and contrary to Scripture, but did not say any thing against the Body of my Sermon. And not long after, I Printed a Treatise in Vindication of these Six Rules, in answer to his, wherein I shewed the invalidity of his objections against them. This I had Printed at New York, the Printer at Boston not daring to Print it, lest he should give offence to the Independent Preachers there. After it was Printed, the printed Copies of it were sent to Boston, and dispersed both over New-England and the other parts of North America. June 21, Sunday. I preached a second Sermon at the Queens Chappel, on Rom. 10. 6, 7, 8, 9. June 28, Sunday. The Reverend Mr. John Talbot, who had been Chaplain in the Centurion, Preached there. By the advice of my good Friends at Boston, and especially of Colonel Joseph Dudley, Governour of Boston Colony, I chose the abovenamed Mr. John Talbot to be my Assistant and Associate in my Missionary Travels and Services, he having freely and kindly offered himself, and whom I freely and kindly received, and with the first occasion I wrote to the Society, praying them, to allow of him to be my Fellow-Companion and Associate in Travels, &c., which they accordingly did, and indeed Divine Providence did well order it, for he proved a very loving and faithful Associate to me, and was very helpful to me in all respect, and was well approved and esteemed every where, both with respect to his Preaching and Living, in the several places where we Travelled. July 1, Wednesday. I went from Boston to Cambridge in New-England, accompanied with my associate Mr. Talbot, and Mr. Bridge abovenamed, and I was present at the Commencement, which was that very day: and having heard Mr. Samuel Willard, President of the College, at the said Commencement maintain some Assertions that seemed to me very unsound, the next day I writ a Letter to him in Latin, shewing my great dislike of those his assertions, and after some days I sent it to him; after this, at the request of some there, I put it into English, and had it Printed at New York, and dispersed into many other places of America, as well as of New England. The Assertions abovenamed of the said Mr. Samuel Willard, that seemed to me very unsound, were these: I. That the Fall of Adam, by virtue of God´s Decree, was necessary. II. That every free act of the Reasonable Creature is determined by God, so that whatever the Reasonable Creature acteth freely, it acteth the same necessarily. Not long after my Letter to him was Published and dispersed, he Printed a reply to it, in a small Treatise containing about four Sheets, where notwithstanding his many shufflings, and seeming to disown the charge, he very roundly and plainly not only asserts all that I had charged on him, but much more, as appears from his express Words, Page 50 of the said Reply, Where he saith, Nor shall I part with my opinion? viz. that the Origine and Cause of the necessity of the first Sin is more to be derived from God, than from Man himself.
