Catholick communion defended against both extreams: and unnecessary division confuted, by reasons against both the active and passive ways of separation: occasioned by the racks and reproaches of one sort, and the impatience and censoriousness of the other; and the erroneous, tho confident writings of both. And written in compassion of a distracted, self-tearing people, tho with little hope of any great success. In three parts: I. A survey of the unreasonable defender of Dr. Stillingfleet, for separation, pretending to oppose it. II. Reasons of the authors censured communion with the parish-churches. III. The reasons why Dr. J.O's. twelve arguments change not his judgment. By Richard Baxter, a lover of love and peace; and by defending them, displeasing those that labour to destroy them.
