In the year 1844, a new edition of this document was issued to the
subscribers to the Library of Anglo-Catholic Theology. Some care and
labour appear to have been bestowed in editing it. The name of the
editor is not given: the preface does not even bear his initials.
Consequently, the Committee, whose names are before the public, and to
whom, as the subscribers are informed in the Rules of the Society, "the
whole management of the fund subscribed is entrusted,"[6] have taken on
themselves the entire and sole responsibility of this edition, and are
the only parties in any way answerable to the subscribers, for the
manner in which it has been prepared for publication.
[Footnote 6: The fifth rule is as follows:--
"5. That the whole management of the fund subscribed be entrusted
to a Committee, consisting of not less than twelve nor more than
twenty-four subscribers, who shall fill up all vacancies that may
occur in their own body."]
How that has been done the following observations may help to determine.
In the second part of the work this passage occurs (book ii. chap.
vii.):--
"In these times it may well be granted that there was no need of
any other bishops but the Apostles, and likewise that then their
churches or particular congregations in every city were advised
and directed touching points of religion in manner and form
aforesaid by the common and joint advice of their priests or
ministers. In which respect, the same persons, who then were named
priests or ministers, were also in a general sense called bishops.
Howbeit this course dured not long, either concerning their said
common direction, or their names of bishops so attributed unto
them; but was shortly after ordered far otherwise, by a common
decree of the Apostles, to be observed in all such cities where
particular churches were planted, or, as one speaketh, _in toto
orbe_ 'throughout the world.'"
This passage will be found at p. 136. of the edition in the
_Anglo-Catholic Library_, and at the foot of the page is the reference
given by the Convocation to the words "_in toto orbe_."
"_Jerome in Ep. ad Tit._ cap. i. [See note O.]"
The words within brackets direct us to one of the notes which the editor
has added at the end of the volume; where, at p. 281., the following is
found:
"Note O., p. 136.
"_Jerome in Ep. ad Tit._ c. i. [The editor has failed in
discovering the passage here alluded to, although the Benedictine
and several earlier editions have been consulted.]"
Without waiting for an opportunity of referring to the Benedictine, or
any of the earlier editions, to which the writer has not access at the
present moment, it is sufficient to observe, that the passage in
question occurs in St. Jerome's _Commentary on the Epistle to Titus_,
and may be found in Vallarsius's edition, tom. vii. col. 694.
