A compleat view of episcopacy : as exhibited from the fathers of the Christian church until the close of the second century : containing an impartial account of them, of their writings, and of what they say concerning bishops and presbyters : with observations and remarks, tending to shew, that they esteemed these one and same order of ecclesiastical officers : in answer to those who have represented it as a certain fact, universally handed down, even from the apostles days, that governing and ordaining authority was exercised by such bishops only, as were of an order superior to presbyters / by Charles Chauncy.
