Scope and content
Baxter's statement on the occasion of the publication of Mr John Corbet’s posthumous piece on the Oxford Oath with animadversions thereon. Corbet’s piece entitled ‘9. An Enquiry into the Oath required of Nonconformists, by an Act made at Oxford, wherein the true meaning of it, and the warrantableness of taking it, is considered’, among the ‘contents’ of Corbet’s Remains, published from his own MSS. (London, 1684, quarto) in DWL. But the piece is not contained in the copy of that work in DWL and perhaps was suppressed, for the reasons alleged in this article.
