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, D.D. Pastor of the First Church of Christ in Boston. [Six lines from Bishop Croft].
