Alcuinus de Divinis officiis, c. 35, 36. and on John lib. 5. Col 547. &c. & Epist. 108. And that Presbyters may Ordain Presbyters, see Anselmn on 1 Tim. 4. 14. And Institut. in Concil. Colon. de sacr. Ordin. fol. 196. see also what's said by our Mart. Bucer script. Anglic. pag. 254, 255, 259, 291. & sequ. & Pet. Martyr. Loc. Commu. Clas. 4. Loc. 1. sect. 23 pag. 849.
