It gives the history of the Archbishoprics of Canterbury and York, each followed by a chronological list of the Bishops of each diocese with an opening paragraph on the origins of each. This is followed by
A catalogue of the ancient Archbishoprics and Bishoprics of England now either extinct or converted into other Dioceseswith the times of their first foundations and extinctions, as likewise the names of the proper Sees which belonged to them, and also the names of the modern dioceses whereunto they are reduced. There follows
A discourse of the Bishops of the Isle of Man,styled in Latin Episcopi Sodorenses which discusses at some length the island's history, ending with extracts from several authors. For these Smith has often included information on the title, folio and page number. This work was probably completed about 1660.
Part 4 contains a single folio sized leaf with drawings of the Coats of Arms of each Archbishopric and Bishopric.
