A reply, in the form of a running commentary, to George Keith's The Presbyterian and independent visible churches in New-England and else-where brought to the text. Although the preface is signed by James Allen, Joshua Moodey, Samuel Willard, and Cotton Mather, Mather is considered the author chiefly responsible for writing the work. Cf. T. J. Holmes.
