Cases considered and resolved. Wherein all the tender godly conscientious ministers in England (whether for a Congregational, or a Presbyterial way) are concerned. Or pills to purge malignants. And all profane, ignorant, and scandalous persons. (But more particularly calculated for the meridian of Margarets Fishstreet-hill) from those gross conceits that they have of their children's right to baptism; and of their own right to the Supper of the Lord, &c. Also good counsel to bad men. Or friendly advise (in several particulars) to unfriendly neighbours. By Thomas Brooks, a willing servant unto God, and the faith of his people, in the glorious Gospel of Christ, at Margarets Fishstreet-hill.Cases considered and resolved.

Seventhly, That the Malignant and profane Petitioners, and others of their stamp, may be either satisfied, convinced, and reformed, or that they may be found speechless, and without excuse in the day of Christ.

Eighthly, Because my case is a general case, and reaches all the godly conscientious Ministers in England, be they of one judgement or another.
