The principal confession of Reformed Baptists worldwide, and a deliberate demonstration that Baptists were not heretics but Calvinists who differed on two points.

Where to read it

Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.

These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
