Text foxed pages 375-382 bound out of order but present. Good.<br/><br/> Joe Felcone's long note on this title explains how "Barclay's 'little troubles' as he called them began to develop into a major crisis." Barclay had a weakness for the ladies and was charged with having attempted to seduce several of them; as well as lying horse stealing baptizing a horse and "of inhumanely beating his 'negro wench' Chloe." Though exonerated he was nevertheless "admonished and his pastoral connection was dissolved." Kerr who was a member of Barclay's congregation appealed and though rebuffed continued to press his case so persistently "that he was barred from attending church." He wrote this book in order to vindicate his position. <br/>FIRST EDITION. Felcone 820. Cohen 11959. AI 31861 2. Sabin 37628. Printed for the Author, by R. and P. Canfield unknown books
