Assert. Those who nullifie our present ministry and churches, which have not the prelatical ordination, and teach the people to do the like, do incur the guilt of grievous sin. III. An episcopacy desirable for the reformation, preservation and peace of the churches. IV. Whether a stinted liturgie or form of worship be a desirable means for the peace of these churches? V. Whether humane ceremonies be necessary or profitable to the church? / By Richard Baxter.
