Ichabod, or, Five groans of the church : prudently foreseeing, and passionately bewailing her second fall ; threatned by these five dangerous, though undiscerned, miscariages that caused her first, viz. [brace] 1. Undue ordination, 2. Loose prophaness, 3. Unconscionable symony, 4. Careless non-residence, 5. Encroaching pluralities ; humbly presented to her supreme head and governour, the Kings most excellent majesty, and his great council, the Parliament of England.
