The sin and danger of self-love described, in a sermon preached at Plymouth, in New-England, 1621. / By Robert Cushman.

Abstract

Parentheses substituted for square brackets enclosing "Massachusetts" in imprint transcription. Three states noted. In one (Evans 18981), the publication date is given as "D,DCCLXXXV." In another (Bristol B6053), the publication date appears to have been printed as "M,DCCLXXXVIII" and the last three characters imperfectly excised. Copies of this state exist with inscriptions dated 1785 and 1786. In the third (Evans 21036), the publication date is given as "M,DCCLXXXVIII." The second state described lacks the catchword on p. iv found in the first state. The third state described also lacks the catchword on p. iv, and lacks the catchwords on p. 5 and 26 found in the first and second states. In the third state, p. 30 is not numbered, and gathering B is unsigned. "Appendix. Containing some account of the life and character of Mr. Robert Cushman ... "--p. [27]-30. Attributed to John Davis.
