To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Any sect that rejects epis- copacy is no true part of the Church of Christ, and must necessarily lack the special grace of ministry in its officers, since this grace is only transmitted by bishops, the only true successors of the Apostles, to whom the grace was given from Jesus Christ Himself. Moreover, the Holy Communion may only be given to Christians who have been confirmed: confirmation is the prerogative of bishops : therefore no member of a non-episcopal Church can receive truly the Sacra...ment of the Body and Blood of Christ. Now this argument first of all ties GOD down to a formula, denying that the grace of ministry can 30 DOGMA, ORDER, AND be given save through bishops. " Don't nail GOD down to rules, and think you know!" Cannot GOD give His grace as He wills, to whom He wills, how He wills'? Are the fountains of this grace stopped, that we have to go back two thousand years for it ? The GOD who sent His Spirit on the first Christians on that great Pentecost, can He not send down His Spirit now upon Non-conformist Ministers ?
