This Canon he illuftrates and defends with his ufual ingenuity. And he appeals to the earlieft chriftian pradice, to the writings of Cyprian, to the decifions of Popes of high antiquity and great cha- radter, and, finally, to the dictates of reafon and common fenfe, two authorities, whi£h are fomewhat more ancient than the earlieft Councils, and even the Fathers : and he infifts that the language of them all is, that, as you cannot make a man a husband, to whom you give no wife, fo you cannot, ...by any liturgical forms, make a man a Bifhop, to whom you give no flock to fuperintend and feed. Hence, he takes occafion to remark, in a pallage which he firft read to his pupils as a note, that on the principles of the Scotch Epifcopal Church itlelf (principles, which he himfelfdif- claims explicitly) the validity of the orders, which it de- rives from its College Bifhops after the Revolution, is not defenfible, becaufe not one member of your E^pifcopal Col- u 4 lege 312 LETTER XXXVIL lege had a particular relation, as a Bifliop, to any diocefe upon earth.
