New England's lamentations under three heads, the decay of the power of godliness; the danger of Arminian principles; the declining state of our church-order, government and discipline. With the means of these declensions, and the methods of our recovery. By the Reverend Mr. John White, M.A. And Pastor of the First Church in Glocester. To which are added, reasons for adhering to our platform, and answers to some objections against ruling elders, by another hand. As also, a vindication of the divine authority of ruling elders, by a provincial assembly of Presbyterian ministers at London, in 1649.
