Benjamin Coxe (1595-1676) was a Particular Baptist preacher. His fame spread after debating Richard Baxter in Coventry on the issue of infant baptism.

The Life And Ministry Of Benjamin Coxe
In the letter of Captain Deane, to Dr. Barlow, bishop of Lincoln, vol. I. p. 294. Mr. Coxe is mentioned as a minister at Bedford, after the abolition of Episcopacy. He was, it is said, son of a bishop, probably of Dr. Richard Coxe, bishop of Ely, one of the compilers of the Liturgy. This conjecture receives some confirmation from his being called an ancient minister, by Mr. Richard Baxter in 1644. After having been graduated in one of the universities, he seems to have obtained a living in the diocese of Exeter.
