Fragmented OCR describes a religious ceremony with a bishop consecration, archbishop, litany, and apostolic rites. It recounts examination, vows, blessing, and the laying on of hands, ending with the archbishop’s blessing and the ritual acceptance of the new see.
A dense passage discusses bishops and the priestly order, outlining episcopal authority, apostolic succession, and the role of bishops as guardians of doctrine and church discipline. It contrasts the spiritual power of ordination with practical jurisdiction, and references St Paul and St Ambrose on leadership, governance, and the duties of bishops within the church.
