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 overthrown; 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
