Presbyterial ordination vindicated. In a brief and sober discourse concerning episcopacy, as claiming greater power, and more eminent offices by divine right, then presbytery. The arguments of the Reverend Bishop Dr Davenant in his determination for such episcopacy are modestly examined. And arguments for the validity of presbyterial ordination added. With a brief discourse concerning imposed forms of prayer, and ceremonies. Written by G.F. minister of the gospel in defence of his own ordination, being questioned, because it was performed by Presbyters.Presbyterial ordination vindicated.

No more fixed at Crete was Titus, though for a time left at Crete. In 2. Cor. 8.23. Paul calls him his [Greek or Hebrew], and his [Greek or Hebrew], words suitable to an Evangelist, sent up and down by Paul, as we may observe in the Epistles, and journeying with Paul. After he was at Crete, Paul sends to him to Nicopolis, Tit. 3.12. which was six hundred miles distant from Crete, as Bunting saith, p. 566. How long he stayed with him, or whither he went next, I find not. But towards the end of Pauls life, 2 Tim. 4.10, 11. he was at Rome with Paul, and by Paul sent to preach in Dalmatia, saith Lapide. How these things suit with a Bishop in our sense I know not: Hence Junius, Zanchy, Polanus, Beza, Calvin, Diodati, and the Lutherans conclude him to be an Evangelist.
