The duty of pastors and people distinguished. OR A BRIEF DISCOURSE, touching the administration of things commanded in religion. ESPECIALLY CONCERNING the means to be used by the people of God (distinct from Church-Officers) for the increasing of divine knowledge in themselves and others. WHEREIN BOUNDS ARE PRESCRIBED TO their performances, their liberty is enlarged to the utmost extent of the dictates of nature and rules of charity: their duty laid down in directions, drawn from Scripture-precepts, and the practice of God's people in all ages. Together with THE SEVERAL WAYS OF EXTRAORDINARY calling to the office of public teaching, with what assurance such teachers may have of their calling, and what evidence they can give of it, to others.
