A discourse of patronage, : being a modest enquiry into the original of it, and a further prosecution of the history of it. With a true account of the original and rise of vicaridges, and a proposal for the enlarging their revenues. As also an humble supplication to the pious nobility and gentry, to endeavour the prevention of the abuses of that honorary trust of patronage, with a proposal of some expedients for the regulating it, most agreeable to the primitive pattern: wherein at once the just rights of patrons are secured, and the peoples liberty of election of their own minister, in a great measure indulged. /
