The Life And Ministry Of Thomas Goare
Little more is known about Thomas Goare than that which is included in his biographical sketch. He was a seventeenth century Particular Baptist preacher. In 1639, he and Paul Hobson organized a church meeting at Crutched Fryars. Both were signatories of the 1644 Baptist Confession of Faith. Another church was organized by both men in Newcastle during the early 1650s.

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.

The Life And Ministry Of William Sharp
Brighton has sustained the loss of another minister of the gospel in Mr. Wm. Sharp, who died February 24, in his 73rd year. Mr. Sharp was upwards of forty years over a congregation meeting in an upper room in the Lanes, Brighton. Mr. Sharp’s views of the ministry were in strict accordance with those of the late W. Huntington. In his early days he gave out the hymns for Mr. Brook, for whom the Church-street Chapel was built, who, for truth and conscience sake, gave up the living of the Brighton Parish Church, St. Nicholas.

The Life And Ministry Richard Adams
He was originally a member of the baptized church formed by Mr. John Tombes at Bewdly, and by that learned man was educated with Captain Boylton and Mr. Eccles for the ministry. It is probable that he obtained the living of Humberstone in this county by the favour of his Tutor and Pastor, who was one of the Triers appointed by Cromwell in 1653. From this parish he was ejected by the Bartholomew Act in 1662, and he afterwards married at Mountsorrel, where it should seem he kept a school for the support of his family.

Book Review: Robert Oliver’s “History Of The English Calvinistic Baptists”
This book is based on Robert Oliver’s 1985 doctoral dissertation. His title is misleading. It is not a history of the English Calvinistic Baptists but, as Michael Haykin’s Foreword explains, an analysis of controversies regarding communion, the use of the law and the so-called free offer. These are discussed at an inter-denominational level with chapter-long references to Non-Baptist William Huntington, set up as the arch-contender against Dr Oliver’s modernistic Emergence Theology.
