Benjamin's father Enoch wrote a book known as Gair yn Ei Bryd or to give it its full title
Gair yn ei Bryd, neu ychydig o eglurhad ar ddirgeledigaethau ag sydd yn cael eu datguddio yn yr Ysgrythyrau; Rhesymau dros Fedydd Crediniol trwy Drochiad
The first essay of this volume is 'Gair yn ei Bryd, neu ychydig o eglurhad ar ddirgeledigaethau ag sydd yn cael eu datguddio yn yr Ysgrythyrau, perthynol ac angenrheidiol idd eu gwybod, am ddoeth a da, uniawn a chyfiawn arfaeth Duw, mewn perthynas i gadwedigaeth a cholledigaeth pechaduriaid' or 'A Word in its Time, or a little explanation of mysteries that are revealed in the Scriptures, related and necessary to know, about the wise and good, upright and just plan of God, in relation to the preservation and loss of sinners'. This essay, first published in 1733, was written by Enoch Francis (1688–1740) and was reprinted in 1839 by David Jones.
The second essay in the same volume is 'Rhesymau dros Fedydd Crediniol trwy Drochiad, a gyhoeddwyd er budd i'r Ysgolion Sabbothol' or 'Reasons for Christian Baptism by Immersion, published for the benefit of Sunday Schools'. This essay was written by Benjamin Evans (1844-1900), a Welsh Baptist minister and author, who served as Secretary of the Baptist Missionary Society in the late 19th century.
The 1839 edition seen above was published in Cardiff by L. L. Jenkins
