May asks Savage to read the new edition of his book, "Letter to Dr. Hawes," and to use his knowledge of early New England history to correct any mistakes. He asks Savage to pay special attention to the letter on the pilgrims, and discusses the pilgrims motives for coming to the new world. He also mentions Mrs. Hutchinson and Mr. Cotton, who were responsible for bringing the Doctrines of Grace to public favor, and compares modern Calvinism to "the Antinomianism of 1636." May asks if early New England Churches used creeds or formalities of faith.
