A funeral-sermon for the Reverend, holy and excellent divine, Mr. Richard Baxter, who deceased Decemb. 8, 1691 : with an account of his life
A 1692 London funeral sermon by the Puritan divine William Bates, printed for the bookseller Brab. Aylmer, honouring the nonconformist preacher Richard Baxter who died in 1691. The frontispiece is an oval engraved portrait of Baxter in clerical dress and skullcap, set within a carved cartouche with a scrolled top and a plinth inscribed with his name and dates; a designer might take from it the formal conventions of seventeenth-century memorial portraiture, with its oval frame, drapery swags and lettered base.
