XXX. Provided always, that whereas the six and thirtieth article of the nine and thirty articles agreed upon by the Archbishops and Bishops of both provinces, and the whole Clergy in the convocation holden at London, in the year of our Lord, one thousand five hundred sixty two, for the avoiding of diversities of opinions, and for establishing of consent touching true religion, is in these words following: viz.

That the Book of Consecration of Archbishops and Bishops, and Ordaining o Priests and Deacons, lately set forth in the time of King Edward the Sixth, and con firmed at the same time by authority of Parliament, doth contain all things necessary to such Consecration and Ordaining, neither hath it any thing that of itself is super stitious and ungodly; and therefore whosoever are Consecrated or Ordered accordin to the Rites of that Book since the second year of the aforenamed King Edwar unto this time, or hereafter shall be Consecrated or Ordered according to the sam Rites; We decree all such to be rightly, orderly, and lawfully Consecrated an Ordered.

XXXII. Provided also, that the Book of Common Prayer and Administration of the Sacraments, and other rites and ceremonies of this Church of England, together with the form and manner of ordaining and consecrating Bishops, Priests, and Deacons, heretofore in use, and respectively established by Act of Parliament in the first and eighth years of Queen Elizabeth, shall be still used and observed in the Church of England, until the feast of Saint Bartholomew, which shall be in the year of our Lord God, one thousand six hundred sixty and two.
