Papers prepared by Baxter for the Savoy Conference, on the Liturgy. Baxter’s answering, point by point, of the Bishops’ replies (items 364-365) to ‘The Exceptions against the Book of Common Prayer’ [Rel. ii. 316-333]. Item 129 not printed in Rel. but in ‘An Account of all the proceedings’ (1661) pt. ii, pp. 2 ff.
Closely written on both sides of large folding sheets, with broad margins. the last page begins thus. f 440v: ‘The Reply to your Preface. The straine of these Papers we filled is like to perswade many that your designe is not the same with oures:’. The heading here given has been struck out, and many corrections and additions are made; one is a Greek and Latin passage (at f 430v) by another hand. The conclusion seems to be at f 435, which page is headed ‘The Concessions’.
