So little indeed was the Convocation of York then considered, that the two Houses of Parliament had, in their address to William, spoken only of one Convocation, which they called the Convocation of the Clergy of the Kingdom.
The body which they thus not very accurately designated is divided into two Houses.

The Upper House is composed of the Bishops of the Province of Canterbury.

The Lower House consisted, in 1689, of a hundred and forty-four members.

Twenty-two Deans and fifty-four Archdeacons sate there in virtue of their offices.

Twenty-four divines sate as proctors for twenty-four chapters.
