Private-men no pulpit-men: or, A modest examination of lay-mens preaching. Discovering it to be neither warranted by the Word of God; nor allowed by the judgement, or practise, of the Churches of Christ in New-England. / Written by Giles Workman, M.A. and master of the Colledge School in Gloucester. In answer to a writing published by John Knowls.

Abstract

On leaf A2r of "To the reader" Workman states that in 1641 he replied to an anonymous work "justifying the practise of Lay-mens preaching." In 1644 John Knowles "owned and subscribed" the anonymous work. Neither Knowles' work nor Workman's (also presumably anonymous) work have been identified.
