A dialogue, arguing that arch-bishops, bishops, curates, neuters, are to be cut-off by the law of God; : therefore all these, with their service, are to be castout by the law of the land. Notwithstanding, the world pleads for their own, why some bishops should be spared; the government maintained; the name had in honour still; but the word of God is cleare against all this, for the casting-of-all-forth. The great question is, which way of government now? For two wayes are contended for, The Presbyteriall and Independent: something is said to both these wayes: but we have a sure word for it, that these two wayes are but in shew two, and will assuredly meet in one. Neuters are shewen openly here, and the curse of God upon them. /

A plaine and perfect touchstone, for to try the bishops and all their clergy from whence their power and doctrine doth arise and proceed : if they say it doth proceed from our glorious God, then I hope they will say with S. Paul, We can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth, for everyone that fighteth against the divine power of the word of God, he fighteth against God, and let all such be their own judges who is like to have the victory : dedicated to the Kings most excellent Majesty, and to the most honourable and high court of Parliament /
