  • Davisson, John. A vindication of the Protestant ministers mission; wherein is proved, both from scripture and reason, and the practice of the primitive churches, that the Christian people have sufficient authority from Christ to chuse their own ministers; and that no Man, or Set of Men, have any Authority from Christ to Call, Constitute, and Impose Ministers on them, without their Previous Knowledge and Consent. And That the Pretence of an Uninterrupted Succession of Priestly Authority derived from the Apostles in a direct Line thro the Church of Rome, is a mere Juggle, and a Piece of Popish Priest-Craft to awe the Vulgar, to make and keep them Bigots to themselves.

  • Davisson, John. A defence of the Protestant ministers mission: shewing that 'tis the right of all Christian churches to chuse their own ministers; and that the Popish Pretence of a Regular, Uninterrupted Succession from the Apostle Peter, thro the Church of Rome, is a groundless Fancy, which can never be proved; and therefore no way necessary to render any Ministerial Authority Regular, or Administrations Valid.
