In Mat. , and by the Apostolical Constitutions, lib. Ii. C. 28, '' the bishop's counsellors, and the council of the Church. " Thus, as Bingham re- marks, '' though the bishop was prince and head of this ecclesiastical senate, and nothing could regularly be done without him ; yet neither did he ordinarily do any public act relating to the govern- ment or disciphne of the Church, without their assistance and advice. The first ages, " continues that writer, '^^ afford the most pregnant proofs of t...he divine harmony between the bishop and his presbyters ; for any one that ever looked into the writings of St. Cyprian must acknowledge that at Rome and Carthage, the two great churches of the AVest, all things were thus transacted by joint con- sent ; the bishop, with his clergy, did communi con- silio ponderare, weigh all things by common advice and deliberation. Whether it was in the ordination of the clergy (for Cyprian would not so much as ordain a subdeacon or reader, ' officers something like our sexton and clerk, ' without their consent) ; or whether it was in the exercise of discipline, and reconciliation of penitents, Cyprian declares his resolution to do all things by common consent.
