Will mere prudence, without a divine right, be a sufficient basis to erect the whole frame of church-government upon (as some concede)? Prudentials according to general rules of Scripture may be of use in circumstantials, but will bare prudentials in substantials also satsify either our God, our covenant, our consciences, or our end in this great work of reformation?
