A reply to a late defence of the pamphlet intituled, Baptism with water and infant-baptism asserted Wherein the mistakes of the author of that defence are farther rectified, and his reasonings farther confuted. With an appendix, containing some remarks on the preface to a late reply to the Protestant flail; and shewing, that the reformation from popery, in England, was in a great measure owing to the zeal and constancy of illiterate men and women; and that the people called Quakers have been, and are, the most thorough-Protestant reformers in the world.

A refutation of three opposers of truth : by plain evidence of the holy Scripture, viz. I. Of Pardon Tillinghast, who pleadeth for water-baptism, its being a Gospel-precept, and opposeth Christ within, as a false Christ. To which is added, something concerning the Supper, &c. II. Of B. Keech, in his book called, A tutor for children, where he disputeth against the sufficiency of the light within, in order of salvation; and calleth Christ in the heart, a false Christ in the secret chamber. II. Of Cotton Mather, who in his appendix to his book, called, Memorable providences, relating to witchcrafts, &c. doth so weakly defend his father Increase Mather from being justly chargeable with abusing the honest people called Quakers, that he doth the more lay open his fathers nakedness; and beside the abuses and injuries that his father had cast upon that people, C. Mather, the son, addeth new abuses of his own. And a few words of a letter to John Cotton, called a minister, at Plymouth in New England. By George Keith.
