Dr. HARRIS Reply.
IN England, the King doth but nominate some to be Bishops; They are chosen by the Deane and Chapter. The King approueth and ratifieth the Electiò: but they are consecrated Bishops, only by Bi∣shops. And therupon, without any grant therof frō the King, they haue, ipso facto, Episcopall function and Iurisdiction in externall Court. Whereby it is appa∣rant, euen by this Iesuitesinterpretation of the words, that our Bishops doe not descend from our King, as the Romish Bishoppes descend from the Bishop of Rome; who receiue the gifts of the Holy-ghost, and the vertue and effect of their preaching from the Pope; and so descend from him, as members from the Head: which Pope (saith Bellarmine) is the onely Bishoppe iure diuino, by the word of GOD: and all the rest of the Bishoppes, Archbishops, Patriarkes, are but his Curates, iure human••, by the wordor inspiration of the Pope. Inspirante Petro (as Leo saith) The Pope breathing on them the Holy-ghost.
