If we may believe Irenaeus, Eusebius and Tertullian, the Apostles singly did it by their laying on of hands. Thus Polycarp at Smyrna was made a Bishop by Saint John, thus Euodius at Antioch was made a Bishop by Saint Peter, and thus by the same hands were Linus, Cletus, Clemens Romanus made at Rome. Nay, in the first Chapter of the second Epistle to Timothy ▪ at the sixth Verse, 'tis said, That by Saint Paul 's hands alone this Bishop was ordained; Stir up the Gift of God which is in thee, sayes the Apostle in that place, which was given thee by the putting on of my hands. |
