R. B. SIR, pardon the weakness, and bear with the plainness and freeness of Your faithful Brother (though not as is meet) Rich. Baxter. May 14. 1655.

:440p. 158–159

Sir, if you have any thing of moment to say, in reply to these, which you have not yet in your writings brought forth, I shall be willing to consider of it: But if you have not, I pray you tell me so in two words, and spare the rest of your pains (as for me) and trouble me no more with matters of this nature. For truly I have no sufficient vacancy from greater works. Yea, I am constrained to forbear much greater than these. R. B. After this he tells me, that whereas I preached a Sermon at Bewdley, in which I refuted by many arguments Infants visible Church-membership, ⟨p. 159⟩I must be either mutable or hypocritical, if I deny such a Law and Ordinance which I took on me then to refute, and desires a Copy of that Sermon, that he may show the sad mistakes and vanity of those my arguments.
