I mean that it is Presbyterially historic, or, in other words, that through the ordination of four Methodist ministers and Absalom Jones, a Priest of the Protestant Episcopal Church, Bishop Allen received a succession of hands, though through Priests, Presbyters, or elders, which gives his ordination the stamp of primitive Christianity, and made him, through the call of the entire church an ECCLESIASTICAL BISHOP, though not prelatically apostolical.”

“The man was soon to come whose long ministry to the congregation was to provide a blessing indeed. This was the Rev. Drury Lacy, the first Presbyterially installed pastor of the church.”
