Scope and content
Anonymous discussion of the subject treated in Richard Baxter’s 'Catholick Theologie', London 1675 (Part I, pp. 84-105). This is one fairly written sheet, by an unknown hand, ended imperfectly until a fragment was found and inserted which completes the article. Baxter notes: ‘I take it, this is not the singular opinion of Dr Twiss Mr Rutherford & Maccovius, but of many others such as Calvin. Beza, P: Martyr, Zanch: Chamier, Muscul. Whitacre, Bucarius’
