Mather, preacher, theologian, and historian, exercised great authority in early New England, and retains some of that authority today, for its clear representation of the history of the area. Authority is an important part of Mather's argument in Wonders of the Invisible World, used in his logos, his logical arguments, and his extrinsic ethos and intrinsic ethos, and he often uses religion as evidence of his authority, with references to America as "The Devil's Territories and the Puritans as God's Chosen," and all three rhetorical principles are used and interconnected. Cotton Mather uses both extrinsic ethics (his expertise, education, and authority on the subject) and intrinsic (as he writes) to strengthen his authority on the subject he is talking about, combining these expressions of authority and power with logos and pathos that we future readers may not find persuasive but would have been for the people of his time Overall use of ethos, pathos, and logos is more focused on ethos and logos, with fragments of pathos in forms that correspond to the religious approach taken by most people in the colonies. He often makes his point with logos, mostly using the forms of “affirmation or consequence” and “testimony and authority.” He also uses religion as evidence of his authority, and the authority of the New England Puritans in general, as seen in the first part of Wonders of the Unseen World, "A People of God in the Devil's Territories." He says that "the people of New England are a people of God settled in what were once the lands of the devil... the devil was exceedingly troubled, when he saw such a people here fulfilling the promise of old." He goes on to talk about the methods used, he says, by the devil to destroy religion. In the Ethics, Mather uses God to give authority to him and the other Puritans. In pathos, religion is used to incite audience reactions, with examples such as that used by Phebe Chandler to install these ideas and feelings in the form of victim testimonies. And in the logos, religion is used in 'Testimony and Authority', one of the main tools he uses, citing God and Jesus as 'good' religious figures against the devil, the 'bad' religious figure. Mather also uses these tools separately, using intrinsic and extrinsic ethos to give himself authority and make his authority more prominent, using the logos consequence claim to give a clear backbone to his argument and the logos analogy to make valid comparisons and convincing, and using the witnesses, the testimonies and the outrages committed against them as levers and tools to chisel the emotions of the public in its pathos.
