This book is an essay on the education of children, and what may hopefully be attempted for the hope of the flock in a funeral sermon upon Mr. Ezekiel Cheever, the ancient and honorable Master of the Free School in Boston, who left off when mortality took him in August 1708. With an elegy and an epitaph upon him. Due to the age and scarcity of the original we reproduced, some pages may be spotty, faded or difficult to read. Written in Old English.
