A48285	Erastus Senior scholastically demonstrating this conclusion that (admitting their Lambeth records for true) those called bishops here in England are no bishops, either in order or jurisdiction, or so much as legal : wherein is answered to all that hath been said in vindication of them by Mr. Mason in his Vindiciæ ecclesiæ Anglicanæ, Doctor Heylin in his Ecclesiæ restaurata, or Doctor Bramhall ... in his last book intituled, The consecration and succession of Protestant bishops justified : with an appendix containing extracts out of ancient rituals, Greek and Latine, for the form of ordaining bishops, and copies of the acts of Parliament quoted in the third part.

Chap. 19. Vrging the second inference for the opinion of the Parliament 67 Chap. 20. Refuting the shifts devised to evade this inference 72 Chap. 21. Proving the second part of the reason that it was not revived then 76 The first Chapter Proving the first part of the Conclusion the Protestant Bishops are no Bishops ORDINE and urging the first Reason the invalidity of the form whereby they were Ordained THere is a Bishop Ordine and there is a Bishop Officio Jurisdictione or simpliciter A Bishop Ordine I call him whose Ordination was essentially valid and so imprinted the Episcopall Character As ex gr if one should be Ordained in due matter and form by one or more Bishops having no Jurisdiction or should be Ordained without a Title or should be Consecrated Bishop of some See and afterward resign it or be deprived of it or degraded And Bishops in this sense are necessary to the Ordaining of Bishops Priests and Deacons and consequently to the interior essentiall form of the Church as it consists in a Hierarchy of Order A Bishop Officio I call him who was validly Confirmed and Consecrated Bishop or Archbishop and Pastour of that See or flock of Clergy and people whereof he is stiled as ex gr Canterbury London c. and continues actuall Bishop of it or of some other And Bishops in this sense are necessary to the Consecrating of Archishops and Bishops of Cathedrall or Metropoliticall Sees and to the Instituting of Pastors to Parochiall Churches and consequently to the exterior essential form of the Church as it consists in a Hierarchy of Jurisdiction The first part then of my Conclusion is that Protestant Bishops are no Bishops Ordine My reasons are two The first is because the Protestant form for Ordaining Bishops is essentially invalid For the essential form of Ordination is some fit words that is words fignifying the Order given Mr. Mason l. 2. c. 16. n. 6. So Protestants themselves Non verba quaelibet huic instituto for making a Priest and there is the same reason of a Bishop inservire poterunt sed quae ad Ordinis conferendi potestatem exprimendam sunt accomodata Dum per Apostolum Tit. 1.5 mandavit Christus ut crearentur Ministri mandavit implicitè ut inter Ordinandum verba adhiberentur idonea id est quae dati tum Ordinis potestatem complecterentur Istiusmodi autem verba quatenus datam potestatem denotant sunt illius ordinis forma essentialis And the reason is evident because Ordination being a Sacrament as Protestants themselves do * Id. l. ● n. 8. D. Bramb p. 96. and must confess for else it is no argument of the parties having any authority from God more then another hath who is not Ordain'd that is a visible sign of an invisible grace or power given by it there must be some visible sign in it to signifie the power given for it cannot be a sign of what it signifies not and else the same Rite as ordains a man a Deacon would ordain him Priest and Bishop The essential matter then of Episcopal Ordination which is imposition of hands being a dumb sign and common to divers Orders as Bishops Priests Deacons and to divers other graces as Confirming curing the sick c. of necessity there must be some words joyn'd with it as its form to interpret it and determine it to the grace of Episcopal Order which no words can possibly do but such as signifie that Order either in the natural sense of the words as ex gr Be thou a Bishop or I ordain thee a Bishop c. or by the Institution of Christ as these words I baptize thee c. signifie the grace of regeneration because instituted by Christ to that end Now in the Protestant form there is no word signifying Episcopal Order in the natural sense of the words For this is their whole form Take the Holy Ghost and remember that thou stir up the grace of God which is in thee by Imposition of hands for God hath not given us the Spirit of fear but of power and love and soberness In which is nothing but what may be said to any Priest or Deacon at his Ordaining nay or to any childe at Confirming Nor is there any colour of ground to say that these words signifie it ex instituto Christi being there is no testimony in Scripture of such his institution nor did he ever use these words but once to his Apostles when he gave them power of remitting sins which is a power of Priestly Order onely nor do we finde that any of the Apostles ever used them De ordinat Sacr. par 2. and it appears by all the Rituals now extant set forth by Morinus that no Church Greek or Latine ever used these words for so much as any part of the Ceremony for ordaining a Bishop for 1200. years nor any of the Greek Churches yet to this day nor therefore doth the Roman Church which introduced them within these 400. years use them as essential form as shall be seen more anon The second Chapter Replying to Dr Bramhall's Answer TO the foregoing Objection he makes this Answer Pag. 222 Ans If these words be considered singly in a divided sense from the rest of the Office there is nothing in our form which doth distinctly and reciprocally express Episcopal power But if these words be considered conjoyntly in a compounded sense there is enough to express it distinctly 1. The party is presented to be made a Bishop 2. The Kings Letters Pattents are read requiring them to Consecrate him Bishop 3. He takes his Oath of Canonicall Obedience as Bishop elect 4. The Assembly is exhorted to pray for him before he be admitted to that Office that is of a Bishop 5. In the Letany he is prayed for as Bishop elect that he may have grace to discharge that Office of a Bishop 6. After the Letany he is prayed for as called to the Office of a Bishop 7. The Archbishop tells him he must examine him before he admit him to that administration whereunto he is called and after examination prayes for grace for him to use the authority committed to him as a prudent and faithfull Steward this Authority can be no other then Episcopal Authority nor this Stewardship any other thing then Episcopacy 8. Lastly after imposition of hands with those words Receive the Holy Ghost c. follows the tradition of the Bible into his hands with an exhortation to behave himself toward the flock as a Pastor All which implies Episcopall Authority Repl. This answer is either false or impertinent or a granting of the Argument For if his meaning be that there are no words in their essential form that express it this is a granting of the argument which proceeded onely upon their essential form the other expressions of it in the rest of the office signifying nothing to the purpose because not sacramentall For the conjunction of these
