'Tis well known, that the Bishops of England do not pretend ▪ as the Bishop of Rome doth, to be infallible; after their strictest enquiry into the lives of persons to be Ordained or Collated, 'tis possible, that the wisest of them being but men, though stiled Angels, may be mistaken. 'Tis impossible, that the Bishop, who is neither omnipresent nor omniscient, should certainly and personally know the conversations of all, nor the hearts of any, that come to be Ordained or Collated. But yet, whoever doth so, doth present himself to the Bishop as a pretender to Religion and Holiness; and to justifie that pretence of his, he brings along with him fair Testimonials, Certificals, and Subscriptions from some eminent persons, who, upon their own knowledge, bear witness to the Integrity of his Conversation. It is true, what our Learning is, what Intellectuals we have, the Bishop himself may sift and easily know; |
