(es) CHAP.IX. The fecondArgument : from the Depofationoftheprimi- tivefpecies of_Whops, and the ereRingof a humane inconffient fpecies in theirßéad: A fpecific&diffe-. rente proved.. ARGUMENT IL f Humane inconfiflent fpecies of Bidaops ereëled inflead of the Divinely- inilituted fpecies thereby depofed, is unlawful. But fuch is the Diocefan fpecies now oppofed Ergo. I havehitherto charged it with the changingofthe Church Form : Now of the form or fpecies of Bifhops..
