Examples

“This clear identification of Bishop and Priest as belonging to one and the same order⟳, and (as a consequence of this, to say⟳ nothing of other reasons) the recognition of all Presbyterially governed Churches as true parts of the Catholic Church, was an undisputed point⟳ even at the very outset of the reformation, that is to say⟳, even when the Anglican Reformers had not yet got their bearings on many other matters, such for example, as the Mass, the Seven Sacraments, etc.”

“Q. Do you mean⟳ that the ordination of the A.M.E. Church is Episcopally historic? A. 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.”
