But
I know it will be said that a priest ordayned by authority derived
from the See of Rome is, by the Law of the Nation, to die as a
Traytor, but if that be so what must become of all the Clergymen of
the Church of England, for the first Protestant Bishops had their
Ordination from those of the Church of Rome, or not at all, as
appears by their own writers so that Ordination comes derivatively
from those now living.
