Boston: Printed for D. Henchman, 1735. [2], 33, [1- errata and advertisement] pp. Lacking the half title and final blank leaf. Scattered light foxing. Attractive ornamentation. Good plus.

Wigglesworth opposed unbridled evangelism, the Great Awakening, and Reverend Whitefield.
He warns his audience not "to believe every Pretender to divine Revelations to be under the Conduct of the Spirit of Truth, because he himself had Confidence to affirm it; but to examine first what Right such Persons could make out to such Pretences; and not to receive the Dictates of any Man as divine Oracles, whatever specious Pretences he might make without sufficient Reason to believe him a Teacher sent from God."
