Jus divinum ministerii evangelici, or, The divine right of the gospel-ministry : divided into two parts ; the first part containing a justification of The Gospel-ministry in general. The necessity of ordination thereunto by imposition of hands. The unlawfulnesse of private mens assuming to themselves either the office or work of the ministry without a lawfull call and ordination : the second part containing a justification of the present ministers of England, both such as were ordained during the prevalency of Episcopacy from the foul aspersion of anti-christianism, and those who have been ordained since its abolition, from the unjust imputation of novelty, proving that a bishop and presbyter are all one in Scripture, and that ordination by Presbyters is most agreeable to the Scripture-patern : together with an appendix, wherein the judgement and practice of antiquity about the whole matter of episcopacy, and especially about the ordination of ministers, is briefly discussed. Published by the Provincial Assembly of London.
