The freedom of preaching : or Spiritual gifts defended: proving that all men endowed with gifts and abilities may teach and preach the Word of God. By D. Lupton, servant of Jesus Christ in the work of the Gospel.

Responsoria ad erratica pastoris, sive, Vindiciæ vindiciarum. : Id est, The Shepherds wandrings discovered, in a revindication of the great ordinance of God: Gospel-preachers, and preaching. By way of reply and answer to a late booke, called, The peoples priviledges, and duty guarded against the pulpit and preachers encroachment. And their sober justification and defence of their free and open exposition of Scriptures. Published by William Sheppard, Esq.

Halls arguments, and Mr Collinges arguments in his Vindiciæ ministerii, brought against not ordained persons ordinary preaching, are found but cavils and too light. And the truth still maintained, ... in that, preaching and expounding Scripture publiquely, are proper acts to Gospel officers; not common to all. Wherein also the great question, how far the spirit of God ... doth or doth not inable them to understand Scripture, is opened. ... /
