Priests when they are ordered, take of the bishops hand a chalice with wine in it, & a paten with the host, or singing cake, that by these instruments they may know, that they have received power to offer up unto God propitiatory sacrifices, even the body and blood of Christ. In consideration whereof, when the bishop giveth these things unto them, he saith: Take power to offer sacrifice unto God and to sing mass both for the quick and the dead in the name of our Lord.

There is great difference between bishops and priests. For albeit there are six things, which commonly pertain unto all priests, that is to say, to catechise ⟨p. 259⟩or teach, or baptise, to preach, to make gods body, to loosen and to bind: yet belong there specially unto the bishop nine things: that is to say, to order clerks to bless virgins, to consecrate bishops to lay on hands, to hallow churches, to put down them that are to be degraded, to celebrate synods, to make chrism, to hallow vestments or vessels. There are other things also, which appertain unto the office of a bishop, as to confirm children, to give the solemn blessing before the Pax, & such like. Ibidem.
