CHAP. VII.

THE Holy Synod, treading in the Footsteps of their ancient Canons, doth ordain and decree, that when the Bishop shall be disposed to make an Or∣dination, all such persons as shall be willing to come into the holy Ministery, shall on the Fourth Holiday, before such Ordination, or whensoever the Bishop shall think fit, be summoned to the City. And, having selected and called unto him the Priests, and other prudent persons, skilful in the Law of God, and well versed in Ecclesiastical Sanctions, the Bishop shall narrowly search out and examin the Descent, Person, Age, Instruction, Manners, Learning, and Credit of the persons so to be ordained.
