This work, on the "Early Baptists of Philadelphia," does not claim to exhaust all that might be said about them, nor does it profess to be infallible on every point. The material for it has been collected and prepared amidst the pressing duties of pastoral and other denominational work, and it is presented to the public in this form, in the hope that, at no very distant day, an abler pen may do more ample justice to the memory and work of the men who in the past have rendered such valuable service to the cause of truth in these parts of our great and growing country. In publishing a few of the earlier chapters in the National Baptist the following incident was given: - In an old Welsh Bible belonging to the Lower Dublin Baptist Church of this city (now in the collection of the American Baptist Historical Society), printed in London, in 1678, is the following record: - "Sarah, daughter of Peter Davies, Baptist minister, Dolau, Radnorshire, South Wales, came over and settled in Penepec, in the year 1680, and through her letters, induced to follow her, George Eaton, John Eaton and Jane Eaton, together with Samuel Jones, a preacher in Dolan, and they were amongst those who founded the church in Penepec, in 1688. This Bible was brought over by them and has been preserved ever since in the Penepec Church, now called Lower Dublin. May God continue to bless and prosper this dear old church. October 12th, 1869, THOMAS PRICE, Aberdare, Wales." Dr. Price made the above entry, while on a visit to this country in 1869. Meeting with it at Lower Dublin, and wishing to determine the correctness of it, Dr. Price was written to for his authority. He replied promptly, and sent very full notes from a lecture prepared with great care for the Welsh in America. He says, "I was then (1869) assisted as to dates by the late Rev. William Roberts, L.L.D., the first pastor of Rev. P. L. Davies, of New York. Dr. Roberts had spent a life-time in gathering together material for a Baptist History, but I regret that he is now dead, and I fear that his great labors, to a large extent, will be lost. I am not able now to give you documentary proof of any date, but I had implicit confidence in him.' A thorough examination into the above, warrants the statement, that it is entirely without foundation, and therefore it is expunged from the body of this work. Praying the blessing of heaven upon this humble contribution to the historical literature of our honored denomination, it is sent forth upon its mission of interest to those who may peruse its pages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Minutes from the First Baptist Church in Philadelphia show the congregation was from the beginning the mother church for Baptists in the American colonies and early republic. Baptist members of the Pennepack Church had begun meeting in the center city in 1688. They hosted the organizing meeting of the Philadelphia Baptist Association in 1707 and organized formally in 1746. This volume includes minutes from 1757 through 1806, when William Staughton became pastor. Earlier the Philadelphia Baptists and their pastor, Morgan Edwards, had led the campaign to fund the Rhode Island College (Brown University), an institution Baptists hoped would increase their supply of educated clergy. African Americans and women appear in the minutes, the women as benefactors and petitioners for voting rights and as candidates for baptism. African Americans, like other members, applied for membership by relating a work of grace in their life or by bringing a letter from another congregation, most in Maryland and Virginia. The minutes show constant care for the Baptist burial ground and pew rentals, the examination of candidates for baptism, and struggles to pay the pastor. The minutes also detail how the church disciplined members, including their former pastor, Morgan Edwards, and how they assisted poor members and congregations as distant as First African in Savannah, Georgia. Struggling through the years of war with the British, theological controversy and conflict with a universalist pastor, and repeated yellow fever epidemics, the congregation in 1806 remained the most influential church among American Baptists.
