A Family Well Ordered by Cotton Mather
A concise Puritan manual advising heads of households on structuring domestic life as a godly, well-governed miniature church: it offers practical and spiritual guidance on family worship, daily prayers and readings, catechizing and disciplining children, the duties of husbands and wives, and the management of servants and household affairs. Emphasizing parental responsibility for the souls and morals of household members, it blends scriptural instruction, moral exhortation, and concrete rules for education, frugality, industry, and health to promote both temporal order and eternal salvation.
