Cotton Mather is best known for his vigorous support for the Salem Witch Trials. Cotton Mather being a Puritan, his faith and devotion to Christianity is strong. Mather believes that reading poetry will make the readers impure.
Mather starts off with telling the reader that poetry is like sauce. Expressing creative ideas is sinful and instead you should be focusing on the bible, the bible being like food.
