A review and consideration of two late pamphlets. : The first entituled, Queries to the Presbyterians of Scotland, by a gentleman of that countrey. The second, A querie turn'd into an argument in favours of episcopacy. Exposing the unsound principles, and popish tincture and tendency of both; and vindicating the government and constitution of this church from the cavils and aspersions contain'd therein. To which are annex'd counter-queries offered to the prelatists of Scotland. As also considerations upon church-government: wherein the most material points agitated in the Episcopal controversie, and, in special, upon the debate and question of antiquity, are succinctly cleared; together with a defence thereof against exceptions and animadversions of a manuscript, suppos'd to be written by J. S. The whole intended for the further confirmation of the testimony of our church, and encouragement of her sincere members in adherence to her true Gospel constitution..
