36. Of consecration of Bishops and Ministers.
THe Book of Consecration of Archbishops, and Bishops, and ordering of Priests, and Deacons, lately set forth in the time of Edward the sixth, and confirmed at the same time by authoritie of Parlia∣ment, doth contain all things necessary to such Consecration and ordering: neither hath it any thing, that of it self is superstitious and ungodly. And therefore, whosoever are consecrated or ordered according to the Rites of that Book, since the se∣cond yeer of the afore-named King Edward, unto this time, or hereafter shall be consecrated, or order∣ed according to the same Rites, we decree all such to be rightly, orderly, and lawfully consecrated and ordered.
