Joseph Ivimey's: A History of English Baptists

The text of Ivimey's History of the English Baptists was downloaded from the internet. It appears to be the same as that found at the Reformed Reader and other web sites. I cannot vouch for it's completeness or accuracy to the original work. The General Index and Index of Author's quoted are my own work. However, I trust they will be useful to students of Church History.

I trust that this little work is of some benefit to you and assists in understanding particularly the period surrounding the publication of the First and Second London Baptist Confessions of Faith in the 1600s.
