1647 JOHN GEREE. Response to Baptist, John Tombes' Criticisms of Infant Baptism. Rare!

Puritan, John Geree [1600-1649], was one of the most significant 17th century theologians to interact with the emerging Baptist theology of the day. His concerns were both personal, since he had been dear friends with later Baptist, John Tombes in college [see here], and pastoral, since his region of England was perhaps the most dynamic in terms of Baptist influence. Geree’s two works on the baptism are scarce, critical to study of the development of early Baptist theology and history, and very desirable. This, and the other we have listed concurrently, are the only two we have ever seen offered on the open market.  This is the first edition of Geree's defense of his "Vindicae paedo-baptismi," and a reply to "Infant baptism God’s ordinance" by Michael Harrison and to "Two treatises and an appendix to them concerning infant-baptisme" by John Tombes.
