Probably the first published work of a Harvard graduate. Sibley's Harvard graduates cites only the 2nd ed. of this title (1656) and states that the author's Justification by faith (1652) is the second published work and cites a sermon by William Ames (1652) as the first. Woodbridge was in Harvard College's first gradating class (1642).
