nding him learned
in the Latin tongue, and sufficiently instructed in holy Scripture,
may at the times appointed in the Canon, or else, on urgent

FROM THE CANONS OF THE

SCOTTISH CHURCH

CANON II.

OF THE ORDERING OF BISHOPS, PRIESTS, AND DEACONS.

1. The Ordering of Bishops, Priests, and Deacons shall be according
to the "Form and manner of making, ordaining, and consecrating of
Bishops, Priests, and Deacons" set forth together with the Book of
Common Prayer of the Church of England, with the following
alterations:

The reading of the King's mandate, the oath of the King's supremacy,
and the oath of obedience to the Archbishop shall be omitted. In
the interrogations the words "this Church" shall be substituted for
"this Realm" or "this Church of England" or "this Church and
Realm." At the ordination of Priests and Deacons, a Priest appointed
by the Bishop shall do what is directed in the Form to be done by
the Archdeacon. At the consecration of Bishops the Primus when
present shall do what is directed in the Form to be done by the
Archbishop, but in the absence of the Primus the senior Bishop
present shall act in his place unless it be otherwise unanimously
agreed by the Bishops present.

2. All ordinations of Priests and Deacons shall be held at the Ember
Seasons, unless, for reasons which may seem to him sufficient,
the Bishop shall appoint another time.

NOTE.

The portions of the following three forms which are modified in
Scotland are marked with square brackets.

THE

FORM AND MANNER

OF

MAKING OF DEACONS

_When the day appointed by the Bishop is come; after Morning Prayer
is ended, there shall be a Sermon or Exhortation, declaring the
duty and office of such as come to be admitted Deacons; how
necessary that Order is in the Church of Christ; and also how
the people ought to esteem them in their office_.

_First_, [_a Presbyter appointed by the Bishop_] _shall present
unto the Bishop_ (_sitting in his Chair, near to the holy Table_)
_such as desire to be ordained Deacons_, (_each of them being
decently habited_,) _saying these words_,

Reverend Father in God, I present unto you these persons present,
to be admitted Deacons.

_The Bishop_.

Take heed that the persons, whom ye present unto us, be apt and
meet, for their learning
