| | | Richard Baxter's The Holy Commonwealth
Is this book in any of the volumes of Richard Baxter's works that Soli Deo Gloria have republished? If so, which volume?
Otherwise, can it be read online?

I provided links for all of Baxter's practical works online here along with a partial index. I believe Holy Commonwealth was not included, perhaps because Baxter publically repudiated the text. It's not really available online, as far as I know, except for a partial preview here. I got it after Chris Rhoades recommended it to me; but I haven't read it fully yet.

Managed to locate a copy of A Holy Commonwealth in Queen's University Library, it has been reprinted by Cambridge University Press.

A Holy Commonwealth is a book which was written in support of the theories of resistance to tyrannical royal powers which brought about the Cromwellian Commonwealth. It went through some edits, and was disowned by Baxter, then burned publically, but Baxter, it seems, privately adhered to those principles even afterwards. Quote:
