Note 394 — Chapter XIII
Reading edition
"I have seen myself," says Baxter, "letters written from Abingdon, where among both soldiers and people, this contagion did then prevail, full of horrid oaths and curses, and blasphemy, not fit to be repeated by the tongue or pen of man; and this all uttered as the effect of knowledge and a part of their religion, in a fanatic strain, and fathered on the Spirit of God."—Baxter's Life and Times, p. i. 77.
It must be remembered Baxter would make the most of all this.
