§ 125. And Dr. Regnolds almost as suddenly accepted it, saying, That some Friend had taken out the Conge d'eslier for him without his knowledge. But he read to me a Profession directed to the King, which he had written, wherein he professed that he took a Bishop and Presbyter to differ not ordine but gradu, and that a Bishop was but the Chief Presbyter, and that he was not to Ordain or Govern but with his Presbyter's Assistance and Consent, and that thus he accepted of the place, and as described in the King's Declaration, and not as it stood before in England, and that he would no longer hold or exercise it than he could do it on these terms]: To this sense it was; and he told me that he would offer it the King when he accepted of the place; but whether he did or not I cannot tell. He died in the Bishopric of Norwich An. 1676.
