I have deleted a reference to the King James Bible in this article because: (a) the targeted readership (Puritan parents) overwhelmingly preferred the Geneva Bible during this period (not the KJV), and (b) the attached citation does not specifically refer to the KJV. It is possible that Rev. Cotton did in fact refer to the KJV in "Spiritual Milk," but I would be more comfortable with an additional citation to establish that fact as it would be somewhat out of character for Calvinists of this chronological period. So right now Cotton's work is described in this article as drawn from 'the Bible' (translation unspecified). Bigturtle (talk) 00:03, 20 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
You are absolutely correct. Thanks for catching that.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 11:19, 20 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
