Likewise in the councell of Carthage where Augustine was, holden about Anno Domin〈1 line〉〈1 line〉.* 1.1 400. in the first Canon of the Councel it is sayd, when he hath bin examined in all these, and found fully instructed, then let him be ordeyned Byshop by the common consent of the Clearks, and the lay people and the Byshops of the prouince, and especially either by the authoritie, or presence of the Metropolitane.
