O Ut of a love to truth, and respect to my Engage ment by Solemn Covenant I framed, and out of desire to prevent (if possible) the oppression of men, for holding a truth, I printed (some years since) Two Treatises and an Append x to them, and after that an Apology for them, with a Postscript; which were presented to some of your hands by me.

Finding that great hatred is against such as dissent from the Assemblies de terminations, specially in the two points of Baptism, & Disci pline, (which this writing treats of;) and those that shelter them from violence; and that a great part of the quarrel between England and Scotland is, for not establishing Presbyterial Government, with rigour, which is thus ex pressed in the Scottish Assemblies Reply to the Declara tion, Edius. 22 Julii 1650 Sess. 17.

That Jesus Christ be Lord over his own house, and that his Ministers keep Courts and ex ercise Jurisdiction and discipline, and all the censures of the Kirk from the lowest to the highest, in his name only, against all that depart from and do oppose the truth; or that walk loosely as doth not become the Gospell: and hoping this writing to one of the Chief Presbyterians in Scotland ▪ may contribute something to discover the unreasonablenesse of their violent proceed ings in their way; and some Truths, not commonly dis cerned; I have yielded to the publishing thereof, in this sad time of a bloody warre, raised much from the foremen tioned hatred.

Such as it is, I humbly present to your Honours, in testi mony of my thankfulnesse for the favour and pitty to me, vouchsafed by some of your Honors in conferring on me, & others in being eminently instrumental in the quiet settling of me in this place; in which, after plunderings, and many tossings up and down, I have had some abiding: wherein I still endeavour to be serviceable to the publique, and to acquit my self Your Honours humble and devoted Servant, JOHN TOMBES Ledbury-Hospitall in Herefordshire Sept. 4. 1650.

To the Reverend the Moderator and Commissioners in the next Nationall Assembly of the Church of Scotland, or the next Provincial Assembly unto which Glasgow in the Kingdome of Scotland belongs; the Com plaint of John Tombes Presbyter, Humbly sheweth, T Hat in pursuance of the SOLEMNE COVENANT taken by me to endeavour reformation in Gods worship, ac cording the word of God; I published Two Treatises a bout INFANT-BAPTISME at London December 15. 1645. and an APOLOGY for them in August 1646. d that in the year 1647. a book intituled ANA BAPTISME was published at London, by ROBERT BAYLY Mini ster of Glasgow: wherein I was wronged by many grievous false accusa tions: concerning which I have (as near as I could,) followed the rule of Christ Ma . 18. 15, 16, 17. as may be perceived by the close of the letter to Mr.

BAYLY himself: For after I had advertised him by Mr.

Henry S dd r, of the injury he had done me, I wrote to him July 22. 1647. which letter was delivered to Mr.
