A sorrowful spectacle. In two sermons, occasioned by a just sentence of death, on a miserable woman, for the murder of a spurious offspring. The one declaring, the evil of an heart hardened, under and against all means of good. The other describing, the fearful case of such as in a suffering time, and much more such as in a dying hour, are found without the fear of God. With some remarkable things, relating to the criminal; proper for all to be informed of. By Cotton Mather, D.D. and F.R.S. [One line from Acts]
