(BAXTER, Richard). SYLVESTER, Matthew (editor). Reliquiae Baxterianae: Or, Mr. Richard Baxter's Narrative of The most Memorable Passages of His Life and Times. Faithfully Publish'd from his own Original Manuscript, by...
London: Printed for T. Parkhurst, J. Robinson, J. Lawrence, and J. Dunton, 1696. First edition. 4to., full contemporary calf which has been rebacked in the late 19th century with a tan calf spine, raised bands, (26), 448, (1)-200, 1-132; (2),1-16, (6)pp. With the engraved frontispiece portrait, often lacking. Foxing throughout, this copy has been rebacked in the late 19th century and the front hinge has a 4” split, calf is worn but this is still a better than good copy.
Richard Baxter [1615 – 1691] was an English Puritan church leader, poet, theologian, and controversialist. After the Restoration he refused preferment, while retaining a non-separatist Presbyterian approach, and became one of the most influential leaders of the Nonconformists, spending time in prison. His views on justification and sanctification are somewhat controversial and unconventional within the Calvinist tradition because his teachings seem, to some, to undermine salvation by faith, in that he emphasizes the necessity of repentance and faithfulness. Matthew Sylvester [1636–1708] was a nonconformist divine. His chief claim to remembrance is as the literary executor of Baxter. In 1696 he issued the long-expected folio, “Reliquiæ Baxterianæ. Or, Mr. Richard Baxter's Narrative of the most Memorable Passages of his Life and Times;” appended is Sylvester's funeral sermon for Baxter.
