Description:      Pamphlet

Robert Fage, Jr. wrote this pamphlet in response to Thomas Lamb. While finding information on Robert Fage is difficult, Thomas Lamb was a soap boiler who turned into one of the most striking Baptist preachers of those times and became familiar with nearly every prison in London and its vicinity. From the beginning, Fage takes a congenial tone. He says that he will not write much because he does not want to be overbearing in reply to Lamb. A series of eight arguments are exchanged between the two with both Lamb's arguments and Fage's replies recorded.
