Scope and Content
Note
Argent notes: 'The anonymous critic may have been Stephen Lobb, for whom see DWL/RB/1/28 above and Corr 1133 (of which this item is the first part). For the rest of this correspondence see Corr 1132-1137, 1138 and 1139.' And Thomas notes: 'The sobriquet, ‘Dr Owen’s Vindicator,’ adopted from Baxter for this anonymous writer by W H Black, is unfortunate for it identifies him as the author of A vindication of the late Reverend… John Owen D.D., 1684, and yet in Corr 1138 he disclaimed the authorship of this pamphlet.'
