] GENUINE EPISCOPACY. 215 duly qualified is separated to the work of the ministry in some Scriptural form, accompanied with prayer. Some kind of form should be used, because, in nearly all the cases mentioned in Scripture with any circumstantiality, a formal process is observed, though obviously simple. Our Lord appointed his apostles by naming and numbering or enrolling them. Matthias was chosen by lot, and then numbered or enrolled. Prayer was always used. In the case of Paul no special form ...was used, except that he was acknowledged by the other apostles and the Churches, with the common greetings which are due to all Christians and ministers, apart from all ordinations or induction into office. Some forms were generally used ; yet the forms did vary from each other in those cases recorded in Scripture. Ordination, in the foregoing definition, is said to be the joint ivork of the people, pastors and special officers of the Church. If the will or judgment of the people is over- looked, there is a great irregularity in the ordination, though we would not say the ordination is invalid in such a case, provided the candidate is duly qualified.
