"The Wonders of the Invisible World" by Cotton Mather is a book published in 1693. It defended Mather's role in the Salem witch trials, arguing that witchcraft was an evil magical power and witches were tools of Satan attempting to destroy the Puritan colony. Mather presented trial testimonies, including Martha Carrier's case, positioning himself as an unbiased historian while omitting any defenses. The work advocates for witch prosecution as a means to secure God's blessings for the colony. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
