This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the original. Due to its age, it may contain imperfections such as marks, notations, marginalia and flawed pages. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions that are true to the original work.

The first book written and printed in the New World, The Bay Psalm Book holds a unique place in our cultural and religious history. Richard Mather and a group of his fellow New England clergy transcribed biblical psalms into metered verse. In 1640, just 20 years after the Mayflower landed at Plymouth Rock, they printed 1700 copies in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Originals of this edition are extremely rare-only ten are believed to exist-and needless to say are not readily accessible to the general public. With this faithful reproduction of that first edition, one of the most important books ever published in America will finally be available again to a modern audience.

This volume contains two works by Richard Mather: Church Government and Church Covenant Discussed, in an answer of the Elders of the several churches in New England to two and thirty questions, sent over to them by divers ministers in England, to declare their judgments there; and An Answer of the Elders of the several churches in New England unto nine positions sent over to them by divers reverend and godly ministers in England to declare their judgments therein. Both treatises are written in Old English text and due to the age of the originals we reproduced, some pages may be spotty or faded.
