A blow at the root of all priestly claims: proving, from scripture, That every Layman has a Right not only to pray and preach in Public, but also to administer the Ordinances of Baptism and the Lord's Supper; and that those, to whom these Offices are now committed, derive all their Authority from the People who choose to attend upon them, and not from Ordination, either by a Bishop or Presbyters; which latter Notion is shewn to be groundless and mischievous. Dedicated to the Christian Laity of every party and denomination. With A few Remarks on the Essays on Public Worship, Patriotism, and Projects of Reformation.
