Note 64 — PART II.

Concerning this curious Paper, Quincy, in Hist. Harvard College, remarks: "As the Belief in the Agency of the Invisible World began to lessen, and some of those, who were the chief Actors in the Tragedy, to feel the Weight of public Indignation pressing upon them, they being Members of the Corporation, brought this Body into the Field for the Purpose of giving Countenance to that Belief, and of sustaining this decaying Faith." This was "prepared by both the Mathers, and signed by the whole Board, and circulated throughout New England."—Vol. I, Page 62. The Signers will all be found duly noticed in Dr. Allen's Biographical Dictionary.
