WHEN this Edition of the _More Wonders_ had passed through the Press,
the Publisher brought in the following ERRATA, which, it seems, had
been inserted in some Copies of the original Edition; and, although
several of the Errors are quite immaterial, and others have been
corrected in the Process of Revision, yet it was thought best to insert
it here entire.
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."
