ADDITION TO PAGE 312. INTHRONIZATION OF BISHOPS. THE following account is taken from the Register of Laud, comprising the ceremony of his Inthronization as Bishop of London, A.D. 1628. The proctor of the Bishop was inthroned by one of the prebendaries with these words: "Ego authoritate mihi commissa induco et inthronizo reverendum in Christo Patrem Dominum Guilielmum Laud London. Episcopum in persona tua et ejus nomine. Et Dominus custodiat introitum suum et exitum suum ex hoc nunc usque in sæculum. Et stet Dominus tuus in justitia et sanctitate, et ornet locum sibi a Deo delegatum. Potens est Deus et augeat sibi gratiam." After this, "Te Deum" was sung, and the Bishop's proctor was conducted to the Dean's stall, where he remained while the following prayers were chanted: "O Lord, save thy servant William, our Bishop. Answ. And send him health from thy holy place. O Lord, hear my prayer. Answ. And let my cry come unto thee. The Lord be with thee. Answ. And with thy spirit. Let us pray. "O Lord, Almighty God, we beseech thee to grant to thy servant William our Bishop, that by preaching and doing those things which be godly, he may both instruct the minds of the diocesans with true faith, and example of good life and good works, and finally receive of the most merciful Pastor the rewards of eternal life, Who liveth with Thee and the Holy Ghost, world without end. Amen." The Bishop's proctor was then placed in the principal seat in the Chapter-house, and this place was assigned to the Bishop; and all the clergy and other ministers of the Church made the profession of canonical obedience to the Bishop and his suc cessors.
