Cotton, John, 1712-1789. Letter from John Cotton, in Plymouth, Massachusetts to John Cotton, on the Isle of Wight, March 10, 1737.

Title: Letter from John Cotton, in Plymouth, Massachusetts to John Cotton, on the Isle of Wight, March 10, 1737.

John Cotton wrote this letter from Plymouth, Massachusetts on March 10, 1737. It is addressed to another man of the same name, also a minister, who lived on the Isle of Wight. Although Cotton had never met the addressee, he wrote at great length about a range of subjects. In the letter, he describes his own appointment as minister in the town of Halifax, Massachusetts; his opinions on a wide range of clerical concerns, including his disapproval of celibacy among the clergy; the ostensible motivations of "degenerate" colonists for joining the Church of England; the state of disorder in New England among Congregationalists and Presbyterians; the newly established Hollis professorship at Harvard College; the growth of Calvinism and Arminianism; and other matters. This appears to be a draft copy, and not the actual letter sent to Cotton.
