To my honoured Friend, Mr. William Allen, at his House in Broad-street. SIR, YOU being so well acquainted with Mr. Baxter, I desire you will please to ask him, whether he be the King's Chaplain in Ordinary, or not? And whether he had, as he hath printed, his Majesty's special Command for the printing of his Sermon. For, lately Dr. Pierce told me, that he was the King's Chaplain no more than I was, and that he had no order from the King for the printing of his Sermon; which did so amaze me, that I took the boldness to make you this Trouble, who am, SIR, Your true Friend to serve you, John Griggs. Aug. 30. 1660.

The other was as followeth: Dr. Pierce called Mr. Baxter bold, impudent, saucy Fellow, for preaching such a Sermon to the King, and for printing himself his Majesty's Chaplain, and his Sermon to be printed at his Majesty's Command, when neither were true; and called Mr. Baxter, Thief, Murderer, the greatest of Rebels, worse than a Whore-master or Drunkard, &c. Some of this I heard him speak my self; the rest I had from a Friend which heard it from Mr. Price. George Brent.
