Rh The Bishop of Oxford also having alluded to the subject, in his Charge, Lawrence sent forth a reply to his Lordship. These are, I believe, all the works of this learned writer, respecting whose talents there can be no difference of opinion, whatever may be the case concerning his views. On the question of Lay Baptism, most churchmen will agree with him in sentiment. It will be seen, that the above works were all written many years before his consecration as a Nonjuring Bishop. Brett wrote a short Tract on the subject, defending Lawrence's views against the objections of Burnet. Little is known of Lawrence beyond what is to be gleaned from his works, and the replies which they called forth.
