A Confession of Faith of seven Congregations or Churches of Christ
in London which are commonly but unjustly called Anabaptists.
Published for the vindication of the truth, and information of the
ignorant; likewise for the taking off of those aspersions which are
frequently both in Pulpit and Print unjustly cast upon them. The
second impression corrected and enlarged. Published according to
order. London, printed by Matthew Simmons, and are to be sold by John
Hancock in Pope's Head Alley. 1646.
On January 29th, 1645/6 the House Of Commons resolved that the
Serjeant should apprehend Benjamin Cox and Samuel Richardson, the
parties who delivered this pamphlet at the door to the members of
the House, and to take bail of them to appear from time to time at
the Committee for plundered ministers; and that it be referred to
that Committee to examine the book, and the parties whose names are
subscribed; to send for the licenser and printer, and state the
business to the House with all speed, and that the Committee of
plundered ministers should have power to advise with such of the
Assembly of Divines as they should think fit to send for upon this
business. It was also ordered that the Stationers' Company should
take diligent care to suppress the pamphlet, and the Serjeant at
Arms was to send some of his servants immediately to seize and
suppress the said books. The parties who delivered the pamphlet at
the door were also ordered to be called in, and asked by what order
and authority the pamphlet was published, and who licensed it.
Whereupon Samuel Richardson and Benjamin Cox were called in, and
being demanded who printed the said pamphlet, said, One Simonds;
and that he got it licensed: and Richardson said, that the printer
told him that Mr. Downeham licensed it: that this was a second
edition: that they had meetings every first day of the week: that
there were seven congregations of them English and one French: and
that the subscribers were two of every congregation.[108] A copy of
this book exists in the British Museum Library.

dispersers of the same were to be committed to prison.[109]
