Whereunto is prefixed the Authors Petition to this present Parliament, for the propagation of the Gospell in America; attested by many eminent English and Scottish Divines. And a late Ordinance of Parliament for that purpose, and for the better government of the English Plantations there. Together with Sir Benjamin Rudyers Speech in Parliament, 21. Jan. concerning America. Stevens states that this work \"should find a place in every collection of the so-called \'Eliot Tracts,\' for herein is contained the embryo idea or suggestion that Parliament should recognize the benefits to be derived by the colonies from cultivating the friendship of the Indians.
