Early Baptists in Leicestershire and Rutland (IV)

Abstract

"The origin of the Kilby-Arnesby church in south Leicestershir~ owes little if anything to the Baptist churches described so far.l It was led by Richard Farmer of Kilby, lind seems to have been organised ID the wake of the Act of Uniformity of 1662. It quickly became widespread, and maintained congregational church government, believers' baptism, personal election, and the final perseverance of God's people."
