Abstract

Baxter was a controversial voice for church union
throughout the religious turmoil of the Interregnum* and the Restoration*. A nonseparating
Puritan* who became a reluctant Dissenter*, he once labeled himself an
"Episcopal-Presbyterian-Independent." Though he wrote unceasingly, he considered
himself primarily a pastor and never accepted a position higher than curate or
chaplain.
