Extended title: Catholick communion defended against both extreams: and unnecessary division confuted, by reasons against both the active and passive ways of separation : occasioned by the racks and reproaches of one sort, and the impatience and censoriousness of the other; and the erroneous, tho confident writings of both. And written in compassion of a distracted, self-tearing people, tho with little hope of any great success. In five parts: I. The dangerous schismatick; on the three cases about church-communion. II. Animadversions on part of Mr. Raphson's book. III. A survey of the unreasonable defender of Dr. Stillingfleet, for separation, pretending to oppose it. IV. Reasons of the authors censured communion with the parish-churches. V. The reasons why Dr. J.O's. twelve arguments change not his judgment. By Richard Baxter, a lover of love and peace; and by defending them, displeasing those that labour to destroy them
