A blog dedicated to advancing the ressourcement of the history of the Baptistic Congregationalists, commonly called Particular Baptists. In this context, ressourcement means re-examining the sources used in older historiography and seeking new sources to expand and refine our knowledge.
The name Petty France comes from a small part of London in the parish of Bishopsgate Without where a Particular Baptist church met from 1656-1683.

Dear brother in Christ,
I am writing from germany and want to say thanks first for the helpful work on this side and in your books. It´s a great blessing for me and other brothers in our country of need.
Today i read a new article from Dr. Clarke (https://heidelblog.net/2023/08/abraham-moses-and-baptism-2/) and he wrote in one commentary your name…
“…There is a reason that some (many?) PBs are radicalizing and rejecting the moderate view of continuity held by some PBs, who affirm one covenant of grace multiple administrations. They know that “one covenant of grace, multiple administrations” leads to the inclusion of infants into the New Covenant church so they’ve jettisoned “multiple administrations” and even declared (as Sam Renihan has done) that the Abrahamic covenant was really a covenant of works. Who knew? Certainly not the Apostle Paul, who, at crucial points in his argument with the Judaizers, appeals to Abrahamic covenant per se as the paradigm of the covenant of grace (in distinction from Moses, which had a works principle–not for salvation).
The Reformed churches baptize infants in obedience to the rule of worship. God commanded it.”
Coud you help me, what i can read for myself, to think deeper about this position?
Thank you very much and please excuse my worse english! I´m very sorry for that!
God bless you
Your brother in Christ from over the atlantic but united in Him
Leon.
