Notes
[[102].]
Title-page of original.
[[103].]
Reverse of title-page. Governor Sir William Phips. We have just read,
indeed, his own assertion (p. 197, above) that he had “put a stop to the
printing of any discourses one way or other,” and this may explain why,
though this book was complete in October, it was not published before January,
as well as why, when it did appear, it thus bore the express sanction of the
governor. As to the suggestion of Upham and Moore that not Phips but Stoughton
may be here meant, see p. 194, note 6.
