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.
