Description

Each of the works has a separate t.p.; pagination of the two treatises is continuous but pagination of the annotations is separate. Title pages for the Annotations read: "Annotations upon the two foregoing treatises, Lux orientalis... and The discourse of truth. Written for the more fully clearing and further confirming the main doctrines in each treatise. By one not unexercized in these kinds of speculation. London: Printed for J. Collins and S. Lounds ... 1682" and "Annotations upon The discourse of truth. Into which is inserted by way of digression, a brief return to Mr Baxter's reply, which he calls A placid collation with the learned Dr. Henry More, occasioned by the doctors answer to a letter of the learned psychopyrist. Whereunto is annexed a devotional hymn, translated for the use of the sincere lovers of true piety. London: Printed for J. Collins and S. Lownds ... 1683".
