Baxter's Aphorisms

1. Has anyone read a complete edition of Baxter's Aphorism's on Justification? I've only ever been able to find editions which are apparently somewhat edited and do not contain the sections in which he wrangles with Owen.

2. The same question for his Confession of Faith and “Certain Disputations of Right to the Sacraments, and the True Nature of Visible Christianity where he sets forth his second and third rounds of criticism against Owen.

3. If you answered yes to either (1.) or (2.), where did you procure them?

Thanks,

Yup, I've read the Aphorisms, indeed a few different editions but not his Confession or Certain Disputations. I have access to them via EEBO (Early English Books Online), of which one needs a subscription. Also I've got access to them here in Cambridge Uni (although for not much longer!).

Blessings.

Thanks, I've been trying to track down a copy for a long time to actually hear the arguments from his own mouth (pen) instead of mediated through Owen.

Good on you mate. That's the truly Christian way to proceed--have the humility to weigh up both sides.
