The Reverend Peter Clark is also an ancestor of mine and I have an original copy of his book…The Divine Right of Infant Baptism.
When serving at Salem Village he lived in the same house that the Reverend Samuel Paris had occupied.
Thank you very much for the information. I’m going to look for the book.
