Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Massachusetts Election Sermons, Vol. 1: An Essay in Descriptive Bibliography For the third and last time Richard Mather, in 1664, preached before the Court of Elections; he could have had none of the fondness for appearing in print on the least pretext, so prominent in his son Increase and grandson Cotton, for he seems again to have failed to commit his sermon to the press. The sermons of John Russell for 1665, and of Thomas Cobbett for 1666, were not printed, so far as can be discovered. Russell was, I believe, then quietly preaching at Hadley, but it may be that his sermon came under the ban of a rigid sectarian censorship. Sibley says of Russell, in 1665 he. Preached the Massachusetts Election Sermon from Psalm cxii. 63: probably not published.4 In Russell's house at Hadley, Whalley and Goffe lived for some years.
