The CONSECRATION O God of all the Honours O God of all the Dignities that serve in the Holy offices to thy glory O God who when thou instructedst Moses thy servant with a secret and familiar affection among other Instructions of the heavenly Ornaments didst teach him the Priestly Garments and commandedst him to cloath Aaron thy Chosen when he did officiate that the following ages might be instructed by those who went before them that the knowledge of thy Doctrine might be wanting in no age the appearance of the things signified being Reverenced among the Ancients but among us the real Experiments are more certain than the riddles of figures For the habit of the former Priesthood in us is the Ornament of our minds and it is not the shining of our Cloaths but of our Souls that commends in us the honour of the Priestly Glory because they did more desire those things that pleased their carnal eyes than the things they should have understood by them And therefore we beseech thee O Lord grant this grace to those thy Servants whom thou hast chosen to the Ministry of the High Priesthood that whatever those garments signified in the shining of the Gold in the brightness of the Gems and in the curiousness of the Workmanship all that may appear in their Manners ** Accomplish O Lord in thy Priests the fullness of thy Mystery and having adorned him with all the Ornaments of Glory Sanctifie him with the flower of the heavenly Oyntment ** Let that O Lord fall plentifully on their head and run down the rest of their face and descend to the extremities of their body that the vertue of thy Spirit may fill them inwardly and compass them about outwardly Let the Constancy of Faith the Purity of Love and the sincerity of peace abound in them Let their feet through thy favour be beautiful to preach peace and to preach thy good things Give them O Lord the ministry of Reconciliation in word and in power in signs and wonders Let their Discours●… and Preaching be not in the perswading words of human Wisdom but in the Demonstration of the Spirit and of Power Give them O Lord the Keys of the Kingdom of heaven Let them use but not glory in their Power which thou givest them to Edification and not to Destruction Whatsoever they shall bind on earth let it be bound in heaven and what they shall loose on earth let it be loosed in heaven whose sins they retain let them be retained and whose they remit do thou remit Who blesses them let him be blessed and who curses them let him be filled with Curses and let them be faithful and wise Servants whom thou shalt appoint over thy houshold to give them meat in due season that they may present every man perfect Make them diligent in business and fervent in Spirit Make them hate pride and love truth and let them never forsake it either through weariness or fear Let them not put light for darkness nor darkness for light nor call evil good nor good evil Let them be debtors both to the wise and unwise that they may gather fruit from the profiting of all men Give them O Lord an Episcopal Chair for the Governing of thy Church and whole people Be thou to them Authority Power and Strength Multiply upon
them thy Blessing and grace that being fitted by thy gift always to implore thy mercy they may be devout by thy Grace Through our Lord Iesus Christ. There follow some Collects that are called in the Rubrick Super Oblata which belong to the Office of the Communion and are Prayers for the Bishop and this is all in that Ritual that relates to the Ordination of a Bishop The Second Ritual in all things agrees with the former The Third Ritual begins that Office with the second Canon of the Fourth Council of Carthage about the Consecration of Bishops then follow the Collects Oremus Adesto and Propitiare as in the first then the Prayer of Consecration Deus Honorum omnium And at the word Comple the Bishop takes the Chrism and at the words Hoc Domine he pours it on the head of the person to be Consecrated but all from Sinceritas Pacis to Tribuas ei Domine is left out then follow the Collects Super oblata there is no more in that Ritual For the Annointing of Bishops tho it was neither used in the Eastern nor African Churches yet both Pope Leo and Gregory the Great mention it as a Rite then received in the Roman Church Amalarius gives an accout of it but cites no ancienter Author for it than Beda for some other Authorities that are brought to prove the greater Antiquity of this Rite are either Allegorical or relate to the Chrism with which all were annointed at their Confirmation The Fourth Ritual has first the Questions that are put to the Bishop that is to be Ordained which has begun it seems from the time of the fourth Council of Carthage where by the first Canon the Bishop was to be examined both about his Faith and Manners I shall only set down two of these the one is Vis ea quae ex Divinis scripturis intelligis plebem cui Ordinandus es verbis docere exemplis Wilt thou both by the words and example instruct the people for whom thou art to be Ordained in those things which thou dost understand out of the Holy Scriptures To which he answers I will And this alone were there no more may serve to justify those Bishops who got Orders in the Church of Rome and afterwards received the Reformation since by the very Sponsions given in their Ordination they had engaged themselves to instruct their Flocks according to the Scriptures Another Question is Vis esse subditus huic nostrae Sedi atque Obediens Wilt thou be subject and obedient to this our See Which was no other than what every Metropolitan demanded of all the Bishops under him and yet this is all the obedience then promised to the Pope far different from the Oaths which were afterwards exacted But I go on to give an account of the rest of the Office according to this Ritual in the Rubrick the Second Canon of the fourth Council of Carthage is set down to which is added Hoc facto accipiat patinam cum Oblatis Calicem cum vino det ei dicens Accipe Potestatem offerre Sacrificium c. Which being done he shall take the Paten with the Hosties and the Chalice with the Wine and shall give him saying Receive Power to offer Sacrifice c. So that this was used in the Consecration of Bishops long before it was in the making of Priests then follow Oremus Adesto and Propitiare as they are before set down then two new Rites are set down the Rubrick is Ad Annulum dandum MEmor sponsionis desponsationis Ecclesiasticae Dilectionis domini Dei tui in die qua assecutus es hunc honorem cave ne obliviscaris illius Accipe ergo annulum discretionis honoris fidei signum ut quae sign●…nda sunt signes Et quae aperienda sunt prodas Quae liganda sunt liges quae solvenda sunt solvas utque credentibus per fidem baptismatis lapsis autem sed poenitentibus per mysterium reconciliationis januas regni coelestis aperias Cunctis verò de thesauro dominico nova vetera proferas ut ad aeternam salutem omnibus consulas gratia Domini nostri Iesu Christi cui cum Patre Spiritu Sancto est honor gloria in saecula saeculorum Amen For giving the Ring BEing mindful of the sponsion and Ecclesiastical wedding and of the Love of the Lord God in the day in which thou hast attained this honour beware least thou forget it Receive therefore the Ring the Seal of discretion and of the honour of Faith that thon maist seal the things that are to be sealed and maist open the things that are to be opened and maist bind the things that are to be bound and maist loose the things that are to be loosed and maist open the Gates of the heavenly Kingdom to the believers by the Faith of Baptism and to those that have fallen but are Penitent by the mysterie of Reconciliation and that thou maist bring forth to all Men out of the treasure of the Lord things new and old and that thou maist take care of all their Eternal Salvation Through the Grace of our Lord Iesus Christ to whom c. Ad Baculum dandum ACcipe Baculum sacri Regiminis signum ut imbecilles consolides titubantes confirmes praves corrigas in viam salutis aeternae habeasque potestatem a●…trahendi dignos corrigendi indignos cooperante Domino nostro Iesu Christo cui cum patre in unitate Spiritus Sancti est virtus imperium per omnia saecula saeculorum Amen For giving the Staff REceive the Staff the sign of the sacred Government that thou maist strengthen the weak confirme them that stagger correct the wicked in the way of Eternal salvation and may have power to attract the worthy and correct the unworthy through the assistance of our Lord Iesus Christ to whom c. Then follows the Prayer of Consecration and at the words Hoc Domine the Rubrick appoints the Chrism to be put on his head and what is left out in the former Ritual is also left out in this after that Prayer follows the Collect Super Oblata and there is no more in that Ritual For these rites of the Ring and Staff the first I find that mentions them is ●…dore who both speaks of them and 〈◊〉 sets down some of the words used in the former Ritual Yet Alcuinus speaks not a word of it tho he entitles his Chap●…er The manner in which a Bishop is Ordained in the Roman Church But i●… seems he has only lookt on some more Antient Rituals in which there was no such Rite for it is most certain that it was used in his time Amalarius tho he does at a great length insist on the annointing of the Bishop yet speaks not a word of the Staff or Ring But Rabanus Maurus who lived in that time does mention it or rather sets down Isidores words without citing
