A serious address to the members of the Episcopal separation in New-England. Occasioned by Mr. Wetmore's Vindication of the professors of the Church of England in Connecticut. Being an attempt to fix and settle these three points, I. Whether the inhabitants of the Britis plantations in America, those of New-England in particular, are obliged, in point of duty, by the laws of God or man, to conform to the prelatic church, by law established in the south part of Great Britain. II. Whether it be proper in point of prudence for those who are already settled in such churches as have so long subsisted in New-England, to forsake them and go over to that communion. III. Whether it be lawful for particular members of New-England churches to separate from them, and join in communion with the Episcopal assemblies in the country. By Noah Hobart, A.M. Pastor of the Church of Christ in Fairfield. [Two lines from Proverbs]
