Since the poem's initial appearance, the institution of episcopacy, or church hierarchy, has been seriously eroded.

從這首詩初次面世以來，主教制度，或者説教會的等級制就已經被嚴重腐蝕了。

By 1612, James had succeeded in carrying out the first part of his policy, the re-establishment of diocesan episcopacy.

通過第1612詹姆斯曾成功地進行了第一部分，他的政策，重新建立的教區主教。

If you have this developing episcopacy, that's just the Greek sort of sounding word for bishop or bishopric or something like that.

現在看到這種主教制度的發展了，“episcopacy“是希臘語中的主教，詞藻華麗了一點而已,也作“主教的轄區“的意思。 ^[1]
