^{page 85 note 2} ibid., pref. ‘Mr. W.’ is probably William White, Rector of Pusey, Berks (see D.N.B.); eleven letters exchanged between Baxter and White are among the MSS. at Dr. Williams' Library. These MSS. now include no correspondence between Baxter and Sir Matthew Hale, though among them is the original of Hale's Judgment.… of the Nature of True Religion, which was published posthumously by Baxter in 1684. A letter of 2 May 1676 from Baxter to Hale was printed in the Bulletin of the John Rylands Library, xxiv. 173, from a MS. in private hands.

^{page 86 note 1} For access to the MSS. and permission to describe them in this paper I have to thank the Librarian of Dr. Williams' Library.

^{page 86 note 2} The statement to this effect in A Short Account of the Charity (1917), p. 67, appears to rest on an impossible interpretation of an entry in the MS. Benefactors' Book, f. 54, that ‘Several Manuscripts of Mr Baxter’ were given ‘by Mr Sylvester about y^e year 1733^r. This may refer to Sylvester's son Joshua (his sons Samuel and Matthew he disinherited with 12d. each: see Calamy Revised), but the entry is out of place, under the year 1746, and may mean no more than that the MSS. had formerly been in the possession of Matthew Sylvester.

^{page 87 note 4} References to MS. correspondence with Baxter are given (with occasional omissions) for seventy ejected ministers in A. G. Matthews' Calamy Revised; but his Walker Revised has no references for the twelve sequestered clergy who were among Baxter's correspondents.

A copy of Writer's Jus Divinum Presbyterii, which the D.N.B. states to be not extant, is bound up with his Apologetical Narration at Dr. Williams' Library. Baxter's correspondents with the initials R. B. include Robert Boyle (in MS.) and Robert Boreman (in print); but the R. B. in this case was probably Robert Brown, the ‘intruded’ Vicar of White Ladies Aston, Worcs., and a member of Baxter's Worcestershire Association, though a Baptist: see Calamy Revised.
