[2], vi, 7, [1 Advertisement], 208 pp, as issued. Expertly repaired tear, without loss, at leaf 187-188. Faint blindstamp on title page. Very Good, in modern quarter blue cloth and paper over boards, original gilt-letter morocco spine label. Mayhew spent much of his career as a missionary to the Indians on Martha's Vineyard. "The humane labors of this noble missionary" [Field 1045] garnered much praise. His son Jonathan was one of the most influential clergy on behalf of religious and political self-determination for the Colonies. Experience's "theological writings, of which 'Grace Defended' was the most important, show him to have been a moderate Calvinist who deviated, as he himself realized, from the strictly orthodox. He seems to have spoken for a measure of free will against the doctrine of total depravity, and it has been said that he wrote in opposition to Jonathan Dickinson and Whitefield" [DAB]. Evans 5439. ESTC W12480. Seller Inventory # 38703
