88. Thomassin (Discipline de l'Eglise, tom. ii. 1. ii. c.
1-8, p. 673-721 ) has copiously treated of the election of
bishops during the five first centuries, both in the East
and in the West; but he shows a very partial bias in favour
of the episcopal aristocracy. Bingham (1. iv. c. 2) is
moderate; and Chardon (Hist. des Sacramens, tom. v. p.
106-128) is very clear and concise.
