Abstract
Two extraordinarily rare documents, the seventeenth-century spiritual autobiographies of William and Elisabeth Adams, residents of Ipswich, Massachusetts Bay Colony, are here introduced, transcribed, and annotated. So intense were the couple's spiritual struggles that, at one point, William fears that he might “cut the throat of my own soul.”
