Puritan Board Junior
I was just handed a booklet by Puritan Father Increase Mather called "An Arrow Against Mixt Dancing"
Which can be read here An Arrow Against Mixt Dancing
He tries to make the case against ANY form of dancing that entails mixt company as Sinful and violation of the seventh commandment...
Now I am against Promiscuous Dancing, but not all mixed dancing... I believe Promiscuous is interpret as sexual or mimicking a sexual act...
But Increase Mather is condemning ALL mixed dancing as Promiscuous and Profane, he also tries to show that most learned men that we esteem in church history side with him on ALL mixed dancing.
As anybody read this? What are your thoughts and critique of the work? Any rebuttals?
