III. An Examination of a new Hypothesis, viz. Of keeping up, as they say, the Church, and Separation from the Publick Communion, after the Demise of the Depriv'd Bishops, by Presbyters, 'till they can procure new Consecrations, or a new Succession to head them, which is prov'd to be unnecessary, and contrary to all Rules of Christianity, the Canons and Practice of the Church, &c.
