Baxter refused an appointment as Bishop of Hereford in protest of the Act of Uniformity 1662 (which demanded government and church officials adhere to the rites and public prayers prescribed by the Church of England). He was subsequently expelled from the Church and arrested. Nevertheless, his influence in the Nonconformist movement grew both substantially and controversially. Matthew Sylvester (c. 1636 - 1708) was also a member of the Nonconformist movement. A cleric and writer, he is mainly remembered as Baxter's literary executor. His "Reliquiæ Baxterianæ" is noted for both its theological importance and poor editing (Sylvester transcribed much of the work himself and many errata have been noted). An abridgement to the work was issued later by Edmund Calamy, Sylvester's former assistant.
