Plain Scripture proof of infants church-membership and baptism
Subtitle: being the arguments prepared for (and partly managed in) the publick dispute with Mr. Tombes at Bewdley on the first day of Jan. 1649. With a full reply to what he then answered and what is contained in his sermon since preached, in his printed books, his M.S. on I Cor. 7.14 which I saw, against Mr. Marshall, against these arguments. With a reply to his valedictory oration at Bewdley and a corrective for his antidote
By: by Richard Baxter, a minister of Christ for his church at Kederminster. Constrained unavoidably hereto by Mr. Tombes his importunity: by frequent letters, messengers, in his pulpit, and at last in print, calling out for my arguments, and charging the deniall upon my conscience; with an appendix of animadversions on Mr. Bedfords tractate, and part of Dr. Wards, which seem to give too much to baptism
Edition: The fourth edition. / Wherein is added, an examination of Mr. Ts. Præcursor. And a friendly accomodation with Mr. Bedford.
