A vindication of a discourse entituled The principles of the Cyprianic age, with regard to episcopal power and jurisdiction: being a reply to Gilbert Rule's Cyprianic bishop examin'd and found not to be a diocesan. Wherein Besides a great many Things more briefly Considered, The usefulness of fixing the Principles of the Cyprianic Age is succinctly Represented; The main Controversie between those of the Church and the Presbyterians is fully and distinctly stated; Mr. Rule's main Subterfuges are utterly over thrown; Large Supplements are added to the Principles of the Cyprianic Age; The Cyprianic Episcopacy is shewn to be inconsistent with a Papacy; And it is Demonstrated that Episcopal Government was universally delivered to be of Divine Right in the Days of St. Cyprian.
