Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. Brown leather binding on boards and spine with gilt lettering on black label to spine. General rubbing to leather at extremities. Small loss at bottom, outer corner of page 61/62 of Owen's work. LOtherwsie clean and tidy, and firm, throughout. An uncommon little book, containing an abridged version of Baxter's 'thoughts' on his religious life, counterbalanced with a shorter account of the 'meditations' of his contemporary and teacher John Owen. Whilst originally of a like mind, their varying religious ideas formed a schism in their relationship. Baxter took up many ecclesiastical positions throughout the 17th Century, but his radical Protestant ideals were often at odds with authority, resulting in a varying 'up and down' existence, and even a spell in prison. 10 1/2 cm x 7 cm. Baxter's Dying Thoughts 216pp, Owen's Meditations 62pp.
