What it is

A treatise on Christian doctrine written for her daughter, working carefully through creation, providence, the fall, and redemption in the Calvinist order.

Why it lasted

Substantial theological writing by a seventeenth-century Englishwoman, from an author better known for her memoir of her regicide husband.

Where to read it

Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.

These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
