An account given to the Parliament by the ministers sent by them to Oxford. : In which you have the most remarkable passages which have fallen out in the six moneths service there, divers questions concerning the covenant of grace, justification, &c. are briefly stated. Particularly, there is presented two conferences, in which the ministers together with the truth, have suffered by reproaches and falshoods in print and otherwise. The chief points insisted on in those conferences are, 1. Whether private men might lawfully preach. 2. Whether the ministers of the Church of England were Antichristian. Both which questions were disputed, objections answered, and the truth confirmed. 3. And lastly, divers of M. Erbury's dangerous errours which he broached and maintained, are recited and refuted.
