1704.
LIFE OF JOHN COTTON. 159 larly constituted priest among them, were to agree to choose for that office one of their num- ber, married or unmarried, this man would be as truly a priest as if he had been consecrated by all the bishops in the world. Augustine, Ambrose, and Cyprian were chosen in this manner. "^ Even Hooker, the boasted cham- pion of prelatic power, was "judicious " enough in the third book of his Ecclesiastical Polity, to acknowledge boldly, that such ordinations have been of
...ten justifiable. " There may be, " he says, " sometimes very just and sufficient reason to allow ordination made without a bishop. Where the Church must needs have some ordained, and neither hath nor can have possibly a bishop to ordain, in case of such necessity the ordinary institution of God hath given often- times, and may give place. " Our fathers held that the power of calling suitable persons to office, belongs to the church; and there too inheres the power of displacing such incumbents as prove to be incapable or unworthy.
