&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We, Timothy John Briden&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, Master of Arts, Master of Law, and Vicar General of the Most Reverend Father in God &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Justin Portal&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; by Divine Providence Lord Archbishop of Canterbury Primate of all England and Metropolitan, being lawfully authorised to undertake the Confirmation of the election of the Very Reverend &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Vivienne Frances Faull&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; to be Bishop and Pastor of the Cathedral Church of the Holy and Undivided Trinity in Bristol, and having considered the Summary Petition presented to Us and examined the documents exhibited in proof of the matters alleged in the said Petition and having observed each and every one of the matters and things which by law ought to be observed &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;do now proceed&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; to deliver judgment as follows:—&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Whereas&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; by reason of the actions and procedures alleged, exhibited and proved before Us relating to the election to be confirmed &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We do find&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; that the said election was rightly and lawfully made in accordance with the Statutes of the Realm by the Chapter of the Cathedral Church of the Holy and Undivided Trinity in Bristol of the Bishop-Elect a person both prudent and discreet, deservedly laudable for her life and conversation, of due age, and an ordained Priest, and that there neither was nor is anything in the Ecclesiastical Laws that ought to obstruct or hinder Us from confirming the said election of the Bishop of Bristol&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Therefore&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; having weighed and considered the matter with the assistance of the learned in law, &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We do&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; by virtue of the authority vested in Us confirm the Election of the Very Reverend &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Vivienne Frances Faull&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; to the Bishopric of Bristol.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; We do so far as in our power and by law We may rectify all defects whatsoever in the said election, if any there happen to be&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; We do pronounce, decree and order by this Our definitive Sentence or Final Decree which We make and publish in this matter, that the said Bishop so elected and confirmed, shall be inducted into the real actual and corporal possession of the said Bishopric and of all its rights dignities honours privileges and appurtenances whatsoever and be inducted and installed by the Archdeacon of Canterbury or a Deputy according to the laudable and approved manner and customs of the said Cathedral Church which are in compliance with the Laws and Statutes of the Realm.&lt;/p&gt;
