The latter part of Baxter’s papers drawn up for Lord Orrery, with Bishop Morley’s remarks thereon. This treatise refers to the Earl of Orrery’s desire that Baxter draw up those terms which he believed might unite Protestant nonconformists with conformists against Roman Catholicism. Baxter refers to Bishop Morley’s strictures at his terms as “deceitful snares”. This is item Treatises 283 continued, written in an unknown hand, with Bishop Morley’s answers (so endorsed by Baxter and the answers apparently in Morley’s hand.) Cf Rel. Appendix. 121 (§ xiii).

- On Baxter's dispute with Morley see Corr 937, 942 and Rel iii, 109-140, 156-160. The ill feeling between Baxter and Morley continued and led to the latter’s publication The Bishop of Winchester’s vindication of himself from divers false, scandalous and injurious reflexions made upon him by Mr. Richard Baxter in several of his writings (1683).
- After Baxter’s death, Archbishop Tillotson wrote of Morley’s “misrepresentation” of Baxter. See Corr 1260.
