The fuller title of this work is Nouveauté du Papisme, opposée à l'antiquité du vray Christianisme, contre le livre de Mr le Cardinal Du Perron, intitulé Replique à la Response du ... Roy Jaques I (Sedan 1627). In Corr 462 Baxter writes to Peter du Moulin junior (1601–84), asking for a Latin or an English translation. The first English version appeared as The Novelty of Popery (1662) translated by P du Moulin junior for whom see also Corr 459, 461, 462, 482, 510, 545, 606, 616, 650, 785, 1213 and ODNB.
