Intelligence, &c. List of the Particular or Calvinistic Baptist Churches in England.* THE "Confession of Faith", adopted and published by the General Assembly, held in London, 1689, is the standard of doctrine which the Particular Baptists have always avowed: this may be had at Mr. OFFOR'S, 44, Newgate-street, the Depository for Baptist Tracts, &c.: and we strongly recommend it to all our churches, as a most unexceptionable "form of sound words." By the principles of this Confession, we have endeavoured to regulate the following list, not admitting any church whose minister is known to be either Arminian, Antinomian, or AntiTrinitarian, Some few of the churches have pastors who are Pædobaptists, but it is supposed the majority of the members are Baptists. There are some respectable Baptist ministers, whose names do not appear, because they are not settled with Particular churches; such as Messrs. Williams of Cheltenham, Jenkin Thomas of Oxford, John Dyer of London, &c. &c. There are other cases, probably, of Baptist ministers being pastors of Independent churches, such as that of Mr. Cornford of Marden, &c. We are aware that this List is incomplete. We have included all that are recognized by the Associations in whose Circular Letters they appear: of many, we have heard only by report. We expect our friends from the country will bring us corrections and additions, or send them post paid, that a more correct List may be given next year. N.B. 1 and 2 denote first and second Churches.
