3. Elizabeth had not much faith in the episcopacy
of those, since, for the conservation of VI. Parker,
she applied to an Irish Archbishop. who was then in
prison, and who refused Ito consecrate him) she
then applied TO Tunstal the Bishop of Durham; TO
Brown, Bishop Of Bath and Wells; to Pool, Bishop
Of Peterborough; 10 Kitchin, Bishop of landau,
&c; but they refused, and because Of the combined
refusal Of those Bishops, Barlow was. commanded TO
do the job, say your witnesses. But if Barlow was
not a Bishop, was he whom he consecrated a true
Bishop, No, certainly; We both agree on that
point. The question is this Was Barlow q true
Bishop: Was he validity consecrated? Your wit
nesses assert il; but some deny it, and the majority
doubt it. This Barlow was elected Bishop, this is
not doubted; but his conservation is not evident.
He despised that thing; in his opinion, conservation
Is fruitless; a non consecrated Bishop is the same as
a consecrated Bishop. \ Patent from the King. is
what makes a man a Bishop, says he; and such was
the opinion Of the majority Of the rebel Bishops of
that period. Besides, the record of the conservation
of this Barlow was searched in the Registers of all
the churches, and in the other Registers of the King
dom, but all TO no purpose. 1t is stated by Goodwin,
Bishop Of Hereford, that this conservation was made
Feb. -, 1885. but Mason and Wharton prove the
untruth and impossibility of it. Hence. for these
reasons and others not given here on account Of the
extent of them, those who doubted continue in their
doubt still.
You assimilate this Barlow to Leo VIII, Benedict
", Benedict TX, Sylvester III, Gregory VI, &c;
but the comparison is Incorrect. They did not deny
the necessity of conservation, nor has their episcOpa-
cy or the validity Of their e~piscopacy been denied;
all those who were consecrated by them, were true
Bishops.

You perhaps deny L" Purgatory,' because that word is not
found in Scripture; but that is not a reason fer denying it.
