English-L men of the seventeenth century more interesting than that of Richard Baxter. To some he appears to occupy the foremost position in the ranks of Puritan divines. To others he seems to recall many of the characteristics of the great schoolmen of the Middle A ges. Whatever opinions may be held as to the part he played in the political struggles of his time, his conduct as a pastor and his renown as the author of some of the best-known devotional and hortatory works in the English language have secured for him a lasting place in the religious annals of England. He was born at the village of Eaton Constantine, in Shropshire, on the i2th of November, 1615. His father had originally possessed some fortune, but had squandered his means in gambling. The name of his mother was Beatrice, a daughter of Richard A deny, of Rowton, near High Ercall, the seat of Lord Newport. The first ten years of Baxter slife were spent in his grandfathers house. Not long before his birth his father had experienced a remarkable religious change.
