The purpose of this book is so plain, that to write a preface seems to be a " work of Supererogation." In the " Advertisement" to the first edition of Bos- well's life of Johnson, the author says : " Were I to " detail the books which I have consulted, and the " inquiries which I found it necessary to make by " various channels, I should probably be thought " ridiculously ostentatious. Let me only observe, as a " specimen of my trouble, that I have sometimes been " obliged to run half over London in order to fix a " date correctly, which, when I had accomplished, I "well knew would obtain me no praise, though a " failure would have been to my discredit." I quite understood and appreciated the meaning of Boswell, long before this book was finished. Those who use it will finS many dates which conflict materially with previously published statements ; but in every such case the date I give is from actual records, such as Letters of Orders, private manuscript diaries, or authorities of a similar nature. I have found in some cases that even such authority is not always to be trusted. K any date or statement can be proved incorrect, I shall be very glad to have it rectified. 1* 6 PREFACE. It seems important to preserve here a few facts of history, which, though well known to many, are not widely known, and which, though not a part of the plan of this hook, are of sufficient importance to be recorded in it. In the year 1720, Bishop Spinkes, Bishop Hawes, and Bishop Gandy, three ITonjuring Bishops, Consecrated Kalph Taylor.* In 1723, Bishop Taylor alone Conse- crated Robert "Welton, and in the same year, with Wel- ton's assistance, he Consecrated John Talbot. The Consecration of Welton and Talbot was uncauonical * Upon the accession of William and Mary- to the Throne of Eng- land, A.D. 1689, an Oath of Allegiance was promulgated. The Bishops who refused to take the Oath were William Bancroft, Archbishop of Canterbury. Thomas Kenn, Bishop of Bath and Wells. Francis Turner, " " Ely. Robert Frampton, " " Gloucester. William Lloyd, " '' Norwich. Thomas White, " " Peterborough. William Thomas, " " Worcester. John Lake, " " Chichester. Thomas Cartwright, " " Chester. On the 24th day of February, a.d. 1693, Bishops Lloyd, White and Turner, Consecrated George Hickes, as Bishop Suffragan of Thetford. In 1713, Ilickes went to Scotland, and, assisted by Bishops Gad- derer and Campbell, of the Scots Church, Consecrated Jeremiah Collier, Samuel Ilawes, and Nathaniel Spinkes. In 1716, Bishops Collier, Spinkes and Hawes, Consecrated Henry Gandy. In 1720, Bishops Spinkes, Ilawes and Gandy, Consecrated Ralph Taylor, who Consecrated Welton and Talbot. Neither Taylor, Welton nor Talbot, was recogiiized as Bishop de jure, even by the Nonjurors. PREFACE. 7 and irregular, but quite valid. It made them Bishops, but without "jurisdiction," and therefore without power to exercise Episcopal Authority or to perform Episco- pal Acts. Both came to America. Bishop Welton was the Rector of Christ Church, Philadelphia, from July, 1724, until January, 1726, and Bishop Talbot was the Founder and Rector of S. Mary's Church, Burlington, New Jersey. Bishop Talbot died in ]S"ovember, 1727, and was buried in the Church Yard of S. Mary's, in Burling- ton. (Eor a full account of Bishop Talbot, see The History of S. Mary's Church, Burlington, by the Rev. G-eo. Morgan Hills, D.D.) Bishop Welton went to Poi'tugal, and died at Lisbon, A.D. 1726. The account of Bishop Seabury's Consecration, with the Succession of the Scottish Bishops, I have thought it ^vel\ to reprint, together with some official papers relating to the Consecration of Bishop White and Bishop Provoost. The Succession in Canterbury, no well-read man can doubt for a moment. Roman Catholic Scholars have long since abandoned the silly "Nag's Head Fable,"* * Christopher Hollywood, or Iloliwood, chr k Saoro Bosco. Sa- croboscus, or, as he sometimes signed himself, Johannes Bushlock, was an Irish Jesuit, born in Dublin, a.d. 1562. At the age of 22, he embraced the Institute of S. Ignatius at Dol, in France. lie subsequent]}' rose to distinction as a Professor of Philosophy and Divinity at Padua. He was ordered to Ireland to preside over his brethren, and embarked at Dieppe, in January, a.d. 1599, disguised as a merchant. On reaching Dover, he was apprehended and com- mitted to prison for refusing to take the Oath of Supremacy. PREFACE. published in Antwerp, a.d. 1604, by a Jesuit Priest, named Christopher Hollywood, (or Holiwood,) who. He was removed to London, where he was examined by Lord Cob- ham, Governor of the Cinque Ports, and sent to the Secretary, Sir Robert Cecil. He confessed that he was a " Priest and a Jesuit.'' This he did because many persons in the Iiingdom were well ac- quainted with him at Padua. Cecil told him that he would not be disturbed, if he did not inter- fere in political matters. Replying at once with a defence of his Order and a warm vindication of its principles, Cecil became alarmed, and put him in close custody for three months. At the end of this time, upon the urgent solicitation of a relative, (Lord Dunsany,) he had liberty to receive his friends. He was subsequently removed to Framlington (or Framingham) Castle, where he remained until the. accession of James I. to the Throne of England, a.d. 1603. " In the beginning of this year,'' says Challoner, " one Bishop of Ireland and four Fathers of the " Society of Jesus, sixteen other Priests, and four Catholic laymen, " prisoners in Framingham Castle, were transported into perpetual "banishment. The names of the four Jesuits, were Christopher " Holiwood, Roger Floyd, Edward Coffin, and Ralf Brickley." This was by virtue of the King's proclamation. Letters of Hollywood show him to have been at Lisle, June 30th, A.D. 1603, and at Douay, on the 16th of July in the same year. Hollywood embarked from St. Malo, and reached Ireland, March 16th, 1604— the eve of S. Patrick's Day — " Omen uti spero felix," as he wrote in a letter telling of his safe arrival. Here we lose sight of him until May 1st, 1614, when he is heard of once more by a denouncement, made by King James in his speech to Parliament. The Royal Commissioners reported in 1615 that " Hollywood, a Jesuit, was kept and harboured by Sir Christopher Plunkett." He died September 14th, a.d. 1616. His published works are, — 1.

PREFACE. 9 having been banished from England, vented his spleen in that remarkable production. Mr. H. N. Oxenham, one of the most careful of m.odern Roman Catholic students, in a recent work on Catholic Eschatology, admits that the Anglican Church has a " True Eucharist," because, he says : " The An- glican Church has (as I believe,) retained a true Priest- hood."

"Akohbishop Parker and some of the other Bishops were Consecrated [so to call it,) at The Nag's Head Tavern hy a mock ceremony, all together, at one time, by Dr. Scory, who was himself in turn Consecrated in the like mock way by them." He does not specify the time of this Consecration, and he forgot that Dr. Scory had been consecrated in 1551, long before the time claimed by anybody as the time of Parker's Consecration ! Forty- five years after Parker's Consecration, (his remarkable tale is pub- lished to the world ! It reflects little credit on the Roman Catholic authorities who circulated it, either for honesty of intention or for integrity of action. That it should have gained a moment's credence is indeed a marvel ! " The universal silence of all the Romish writers of that age, when the 'Nag's Head Ordination' is pretended to have been done, in a case which concerned them all so nearly, and which was the chief subject of all their disputes, is a convincing proof to all men who are not altogether possessed with prejudice, that either it was de- vised long after, or was so lewd a lie, that no man dared to own it, whilst thousands of eye-witnesses of Archbishop Parker's true Consecration at Lambeth were living." — Archbishop Bramhall.

The American States having been by the Legislature of Great Britain declared independent, the Christians of the Episcopal persuasion in the State of Connecticut, who had long been anxiously desirous to have a valid and purely ecclesiastical Episcopacy established amongst THE EPISCOPATE IN SCOTLAND. 23 them, thought they had now a favourable opportunity of getting this their desire, effected. "With this view, the Eev. Dr. Samuel Seabury, one of the Episcopal clergy in that State, was sent over to England with ample certificates of his piety, abilities, and learning, and fitness for the Episcopal ofiice, and recommendations by his brethren, both in Connecticut and New York, to the Archbishops of Canterbury and York, requesting that he might be consecrated for the State of Connecticut. After a long stay in England, and fruitless application for Consecration, Dr. Seabury wrote and made application to the Bishops of Scotland, who, after having seriously considered the matter, readily concurred to encourage and promote the pro- posal. In consequence of this. Dr. Seabury came to Scotland; and having notified his arrival, a day was fixed for his Consecration, and the place appointed was Aberdeen. On Saturday, the 13th of November, in the year of our Lord 1784, the following Bishops, viz. : — The Eight E.ev. Mr. Robert Kilgour, Bishop of Aberdeen and Primus; the Right Rev. Mr. John Skinner, his coadjutor; and the Right Rev. Mr. Ar- thur Petrie, Bishop of Ross and Moray, (the Right Rev. Mr. Charles Rose, Bishop of Dunblane, having previously signified his assent, and becused his absence by reason of his state of health and great distance,) convened at Aberdeen, where Dr. Seabury met them, and laid before them the following letters and papers, viz. : (1.) An attested copy of a letter from the clerg}- of Connecticut to the Archbishop of l^rk, recom- mending Dr. Seabury m very strong terms, and re- questing he might be Consecrated for Connecticut. 24 THE EPISCOPATE IN SCOTLAND. (2.) Another copy of a letter from the clergy of New York to both the Archbishops, signifying their con- currence and highly approving of the measure. (3.) A full and ample testimonial from the clergy of Connec- ticut and New York, jointly certifying Dr. Seabury's learning, abilities, prudence, and zeal for religion, and that they believed him to be every way qualified for the sacred ofiice of a Bishop. (4.) A letter from the Committee of the Clergy in Connecticut to Dr. Sea- bury, acquainting him that they had made application to the Assembly of the State of Connecticut as to what protection might be expected for a Bishop in that State, if they should be able to procure one. That their application met vidth a degree of candour and attention beyond their expectation ; and that the opinion of the leading members of the Assembly appeared to coincide fully with theirs in respect of the need, propriety, and prudence of such a measure. That these members told them they had passed a law concerning the Episcopal Church, and invested her with all the legal powers and rights that is intended by their constitution to give to any denomination. That the protection asked for was necessarily included in the act ; that let a Bishop come, when he is there he will stand upon the same ground that the rest of the clergy do, or the Church at large. That the Legislature of the State would be so far from taking any umbrage, that in this transaction the Bishops would meet their generous wishes, and do a thing for which they would have their applause. (5.) A letter from the Committee of Convention in Connecticut to Dr. Seabury, amongst other things, signifying their reliance on his zeal and THE EPISCOPATE IN SCOTLAND. 25 fortitude to prosecute the affair in sucli way as he can, and begging he will remember that, however glad they shall be to see him, and wish speed to the opportunity that may enable them to bid him a happy welcome, yet that his coming a Bishop will only prevent its being an unhappy meeting. (6.) A letter from Mr. Jarvis, Sec- retary of the Committee, to Dr. Seabury, accompany- ing the above letter, wherein Mr. Jarvis says, you may depend upon it you will be kindly treated in this State, let your ordination come from what quarter it will. (7.) An attested copy of the above-mentioned Act of the State of Connecticut for securing the rights of conscience in matters of religion to Christians of every denomination, passed in the January session 1783. The said Bishops thus convened, after reading and considering these papers, and conversing at full length with Dr. Seabury, were fully satisfied of his fitness to be promoted to the Episcopate, and of the reasonable- ness and propriety of the request of these papers ; and therefore, the day following being Sunday, the 14th of the said month of November, after morning prayers, and a sermon suitable to the occasion, preached by Bishop Skinner, they proceeded to the Consecration of the said Dr. Samuel Seabury, in the said Bishop Skinner's Chapel in Aberdeen, and he was then and there duly Consecrated with all becoming solemnity by the said Right Rev. Mr. Robert Kilgour, Mr. Arthur Petrie, and Mr. John Skinner, in the presence of a considerable number of respectable clergymen and a great number of laity, on which occasion all testified great satisfaction. On Monday the 15th, a Concordate betwixt the Episcopal Church in Scotland and that 26 THE EPISCOPATE IN SCOTLAND. in Connecticut was formed and agreed upon by the Bishops of Scotland and Bishop Seahury, to their mutual satisfaction ; and two duplicates thereof, wrote upon vellum, were duly signed and sealed by all the four. One duplicate, together with the above-men- tioned letters and papers respecting Dr. Seabury, was kept by the Bishops of Scotland, to be preserved among their records ; and the other double, together with a letter from the Bishops of Scotland to the clergy of Connecticut, wrote also upon vellum, and duly signed and sealed, was delivered to Bishop Sea- bury: and so the Synod broke up. Copies of the Concordate and letter are herein inserted, and are as follows : CONCOEDAT. In the name of the Holt and Undivided Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, one God, Blessed for ever. Amen. The wise and gracious providence of this merciful God having put it into the hearts of the Christians of the Episcopal persuasion in Connecticut in North America, to desire that the blessings of a free, valid, and purely ecclesiastical Episcopacy might be communicated to them, and a Church regularly formed in that part of the western world, on the most ancient and primitive model; and application having been made for this purpose by the Rev. Doctor Samuel Seabury, Presbyter in Connecticut, to the Right Rev. the Bishops of the Church in Scotland, the said Bishops having taken this proposal into their serious considera- tion, most heartily concurred to promote and encourage the same as far as lay in their power, and, accordingly, began the pious and good work recommended to them, THE EPISCOPATE IN SCOTLAND. 27 by complying with tlie request of the clergy in Con- necticut, and advancing the same Dr. Samuel Seabury to the high order of the Episcopate, at the same time earnestly praying that this work of the Lord, thus hap- pily begun, might prosper in His Hand, till it should please the great and glorious Head of the Church to increase the number of Bishops in America, and send forth more such labourers into that part of His harvest. Animated with this pious hope, and earnestly desirous to establish a bond of peace and holy communion be- tween the two Churches, the Bishops of the Church in Scotland, whose names are underwritten, havuig had full and free conference with Bishop Seabury, after his Consecration and advancement as aforesaid, agreed with him on the following articles, which are to serve as a Concordate, or bond of union, between the Catho- lic remainder of the ancient Church of Scotland, and the now rising Church in Connecticut. Aet. I. They agree in thankfully receiving, and humbly and heartily embracing the whole doctrine of the Gospel as revealed and set forth in the Holy Scriptures, and it is their earnest and united desire to maintain the analogy of the common faith once de- livered to the saints, and happily preserved in the Church of Christ, through His I>ivine power and protection. Who promised that the gates of hell should never prevail against it. Aet. n. They agree in believing this Church to be the mystical body of Christ, and of which He alone is the head and supreme governor, and that under Him the chief ministers or managers of the affairs of this spiritual society are those called Bishops, whose ex- 28 THE EPISCOPATE IN SCOTLAND. ercise of their sacred office being independent of all lay powers, it follows, of consequence, that their spirit- ual authority and jurisdiction cannot be affected by any lay deprivation. Art. III. They agree in declaring that the Episcopal Church in Connecticut is to be in full communion with the Episcopal Church in Scotland, it being their sincere resolution to put matters on such a footing as that the members of both Churches may with freedom and safety communicate with either, when their occasions call them from the one country to the other. Only taking care, when in Scotland, not to hold communion in sacred offices with those persons who, under the pretence of ordination by an English or Irish Bishop, do, or shall take upon them to officiate as clergymen in any part of the N^ational Church of Scotland, and whom the Scottish Bishops cannot help looldng upon as schismatical in- truders, designed only to answer -w^orldly purposes, and uncommissioned disturbers of the poor remains of that once flourishing Church, which both their predecessors and they have, under many difficulties, labored to pre- serve pure and uncorrupted to future ages. Art. VT. "With a view to this salutary purpose men- tioned in the preceding article, they agree in desiring that there may be as near a conformity in worship and discipline established between the two Chm'ches as is consistent with the different circumstances and customs of nations ; and in order to avoid any bad effects that might otherwise arise from political differences, they hereby express their earnest wish and firm intention to observe such prudent generality in their public prayers with respect to these points as shall appear THE EPISCOPATE IN SCOTLAND. £9 most agreeable to Apostolic rules, and the practice of the Primitive Churcli. Art. V. As the celebration of the Holy Eucharist, or the administration of the Sacrament of the Body and Blood of Christ is the principal bond of union among Christians, as well as the most solemn act of worship in the Christian Church, the Bishops aforesaid agree in desiring that there may be as little variance here as possible ; and though the Scottish Bishops are very far from prescribing to their brethren in this matter, they cannot help ardently wishing that Bishop Seabury would endeavor all he can, consistently with peace and prudence, to make the celebration of this Venerable Mj-^stery conformable to the most primitive doctrine and practice in that respect, which is the pat- tern the Church of Scotland has copied after in her Communion Office, and which it has been the wish of some of the most eminent Di^^nes of the Church of England, that she also had more closely followed than she seems to have done since she gave up her first reformed Liturgy, used in the reign of King Edward YI., between which, and the form used in the Church of Scotland, there is no difference in any point, which the Primitive Church reckoned essential to the right ministration of the Holy Eucharist. In this capital article, therefore, the Eucharistick service, in which the Scottish Bishops so earnestly wish for as much unity as possible, Bishop Seabury also agrees to take a seri- ous view of the Communion Office recommended by them, and if found agreeable to the genuine standards of antiquity, to give his sanction to it, and by gentle methods of argument and persuasion, to endeavour, as 3* 30 THE EPISCOPATE IN SCOTLAND. they have done, to introduce it by degrees into prac- tice, without the compulsion of authority on the one side, or the prejudice of former custom on the other. Akt. VI. It is also hereby agreed and resolved upon, for the better answering the purpose of this Concordate, that a brotherly fellowship be henceforth maintained between the Episcopal Churches in Scotland and Con- necticut, and such a mutual intercourse of ecclesiastical correspondence carried on, when opportunity offers, or necessity requires, as may tend to the support and edification of both Churches. Aet. YII. The Bishops aforesaid do hereby jointly declare, in the most solemn manner, that in the whole of this transaction they have nothing else in view but the glory of God, and the good of His Church; and being thus pure and upright in their intentions, they cannot but hope that all whom it may concern will put the most fair and candid construction on their conduct, and take no offence at their feeble but sincere endeavours to promote what they believe to be the cause of truth and the common salvation. In testimony of their love to which, and in mutual good faith and confidence, they have, for themselves and their successors in ofiice, cheerfully put their names and seals to these presents, at Aberdeen, this 15th day of ITovember, in the year of our Lord 1784.

THE EPISCOPATE IN SCOTLAND. 31 Letter from the Bishops of Scotland to the Episcopal Clergy of the State of Connecticut, in North America, dated at Aberdeen the I5th of November, 1784. Rev. Bkbthrbn and Well Beloved in Christ — Whereas it has been represented to us, the Bishops of the Episcopal Church of Scotland, by the Rev. Dr. Samuel Seabury, your fellow Presbyter in the State of Connecticut, that you are desirous to have the blessings of a free, valid, and purely ecclesiastical Episcopacy communicated to you, and that you do consider the Scottish Episcopacy to be such in every sense of the word; and the said Dr. Seabury having been suf- ficiently recommended to us as a person very fit for the Episcopate, and whom you are willing to acknowl- edge and submit to as your Bishop, when properly authorised to take the charge of you in that character — Know, therefore, dearly beloved, that we, the Bishops, and, under Christ, the governors by regular succession, of the Episcopal Church of Scotland, considering the reasonableness of your request, and being entirely satisfied with the recommendations in favour of the said Dr. Samuel Seabury, have accordingly promoted him to the high order of the Episcopate, by the laying on of our hands, and have thereby invested him with proper powers for governing and performing all Epis- copal Offices in the Church subsisting in the State of Connecticut in North America. And having thus far complied with your desire, and done what was incum- bent on us to keep up the Episcopal Succession in a part of the Christian Church which is now, by mutual agreement, loosed from and given up by those who once took the charge of it, permit us, therefore, Rev- 32 THE EPISCOPATE IN SCOTLAND. erend Brethren, to request your hearty and sincere endeavours to further and carry on the good work we have happily hegun. To this end, we hope you will receive and acknowledge the Eight Reverend Bishop Seabury as your Bishop, and spiritual governor, that you vnlL pay him all due and canonical obedience in that sacred character, and reverently apply to him for all Episcopal Offices which you, or the people committed to your pastoral care, may stand in need of at his hands, till, through the goodness of God, the number of Bishops be increased among you, and the State of Connecticut be divided into separate districts or Dio- ceses, as is the case in other parts of the Christian world. This recommendation we flatter ourselves you will take in good part from the governors of a Church which cannot be suspected of aiming at supremacy of any kind, or over any people. Unacquainted with the politics of nations, and under no temptation to inter- fere in matters foreign to us, we have no other object in view but the interests of the Mediator's kingdom, no higher ambition than to do our duty as messengers of the Prince of Peace. In the discharge of this duty the example which we wish to copy after is that of the Primitive Church while in a similar situation, uncon- nected with, and unsupported by, the temporal powers. On this footing, it is our earnest desire that the Epis- copal Church in North America be in full communion with the Episcopal Church in Scotland, as we, the underwritten Bishops, for ourselves, and our successors in office, agree to hold communion with Bishop Sea- bury, and his successors, as practised in the various provinces of tlie Primitive Church, in all the funda- THE EPISCOPATE IN SCOTLAND. 33 mental articles of faith, and by mutual intercourse of ecclesiastical correspondence and brotherly fellowship, when opportunity offers or necessity requires. Upon this plan, which we hope will meet your joint approba- tion, and according to this standard of primitive prac- tice, a Concordate has been drawn up and signed by us, the Bishops of the Church in Scotland, on the one part, and by Bishop Seabury on the other, the articles of which are to serve as a bond of union between the Catholic remainder of the ancient Church of Scotland, and the now rising Church in the United States of America, Of this Concordate a copy is herewith sent for your satisfaction ; and after having duly weighed the several articles of it, we hope you will find them all both expedient and equitable, dictated by a spirit of Christian meekness, and proceeding from a pure regard to regularity and good order. As such we most earn- estly recommend them to your serious attention, and, vdth all brotherly love, entreat your hearty and sincere compliance with them. A Concordate thus established in mutual good faith and confidence, will, by the blessing of God, make our ecclesiastical union firm and lasting : And we have no other desire but to render it conducive to that peace, and «,greeable to that truth, which it ever has been, and shall be, our study to seek after and cultivate. And may the Grod of Peace grant you to be like-minded. May He who is the Great High Priest of our pro- fession, the Shepherd and Bishop of our souls, prosper these our endeavours for the propagation of His truth and righteousness : May He graciously accept our im- perfect services, grant success to our good designs, and B* 34 ^ THE EPISCOPATE IN SCOTLAND. make Hie Church to be yet glorious upon earth, and the joy of all lands ! To His Divine benediction we heartily commend you, your flocks, and your labours, and are. Reverend Sirs, Your afiectionate Brethren and Fellow-Servants in Christ. The above letter was duly signed and sealed upon vellum by Bishops Ealgour, Petrie, and Skinner, and delivered to Bishop Seabury. After -which the meeting was dissolved.

At the meeting of the General Convention in 1874, a Memorial from the Convocation of Haiti was pre- sented by the Bishop of Delaware, which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Missions, who submitted the following resolution : Resolved, That the Memorial of the Convocation in Haiti be referred to the Board of Missions, to ascertain what measure may seem to them best for securing the effectual Episcopal supervision of the parishes in Haiti. In response to this action, the Board of Missions sent the following resolutions to the Hoiise of Bishops at the meeting of the General Convention in 1874 : Resolved, That it is necessary to the further prosecu- tion of our missionary work in Haiti, that a Missionary Bishop should be consecrated for that Island. Resolved, That the House of Bishops is hereby re- spectfully requested to elect and consecrate a Bishop for the Island of Haiti. Upon the motion of the Bishop of "Western H'ew York, the following Covenant was entered into between the American Church and The Eev. James Theodore Holly, who represented the Haitien Clergy. Upon the completion of the Covenant, Dr. Holly was elected and consecrated Bishop of Haiti. 311 312 APPENDIX. House of Bishops, November 3d, 1874. Besolved, That the following Covenant between the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States and the Protestant Episcopal Church in Haiti be entered upon the Journal of this House : Covenant. In the ISTame of the Most Holy and Undivided Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Grhost. Amen. The following Covenant, or Articles of Agreement, Concord, and Union, between the House of Bishops of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America of the first part, and the Convo- cation of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Pe- public of Haiti of the second part, establishes the ensuing stipiUations mutually entered into by the two Churches aforesaid : Article 1. The House of Bishops aforesaid, in con- sideration of the fact that all the Clergy, eleven in number, belonging to the Church in Haiti, owe no allegiance to the government of these United States, but are Haitien citizens, do hereby recognize the afore- said Church in Haiti as of right as also in point of fact a foreign Church to all intents and purposes within the meaning of Article 10 of the Constitution of the Prot- estant Episcopal Church in the said United States of America. But while the aforesaid House of Bishops doth thus recognize the Church in Haiti to be a foreign Church, yet, during its early grovsi;h and development, it shall continue to enjoy the nursing care of the Church in these United States until the Church in Haiti shall attain to competency for its own support, and to a suffi- THE CHURCH IN HAITI. 313 ciency in its Episcopate for the administration of its own affairs, according to the requirements of the ancient Canons and primitive usages of the Church of Christ. Aet. 2. The House of Bishops, acting under the aforesaid Article 10 of the Constitution of the Prot- estant Episcopal Church in the United States of America, and availing itself of the concession made to them by the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Republic of Haiti in the stipulation contained in Ar- ticle 5 following of this Covenant, will designate and consecrate to the OfG.ce of Bishop one of the Clergy- men of the aforesaid Church in Haiti (making selection of the said person according to the best of its godly judgment as to his fitness and qualifications for such a high and holy vocation). Art. 3. The said House of Bishops furthermore agrees to name from among its own members a Com- mission of four Bishops, with whom the aforesaid Bishop or Bishops to be consecrated for the Church in Haiti shall be associated. And this Commission shall form a temporary Board of Administration for the Episcopal government of the Church in Haiti. And, as such, a majority of the same shall be com- petent to take order for the designation and consecra- tion of future Bishops in Haiti, as the necessity may arise, on the demand of the Convocation of the Church in that Republic. The said temporary Board of Administration shall be furthermore empowered to administer all the discipline pertaining to the Episcopal order of the Ministry for the Church in Haiti until at least three Bishops shall be designated, consecrated, o 27 314 APPENDIX. and canonically established in said Church. It being understood that this Commission of Bishops shall be governed in the exercise of their Episcopal adminis- tration, judgments, and acts by the provisions con- tained in the Constitution and Canons of the Prot- estant Episcopal Church in the United States of America, so far as the same can be applied to the divergent circumstances of the Church in Haiti. Aet. 4. The Protestant Episcopal Church in Haiti on its part agrees always to guard in all their essentials a conformity to the doctrine, worship, and discipline of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America, as the same are set forth in the duly authorized standards of the said Church, and that it will not depart therefrom any further than local circumstances shall make it necessary. Art. 5. The Protestant Episcopal Church in Haiti farther agrees to concede to the House of Bishops of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America, the choice of its first Bishop to be con- secrated; and thereafter to concede the same pre- rogative to a majority of the Commission of' Bishops forming the temporary Board of Administration to choose or designate among the Haitien Clergy future Bishops on the demand of the Convocation in Haiti. And this prerogative shall continue until, in the good Providence of God, three Bishops shall be canonically resident and exercising jurisdiction in the Church of Haiti. Then this prerogative shall cease on the part of the aforesaid Commission, and all its functions revert to those three Bishops thus established in Haiti.
