Noun

ordinability (uncountable)

  1. (obsolete) Capability of being ordained or appointed.
    • Bishop George Bull
      Our obedience to God ought to be such, as that it may have, tho' not a merit of condignity to deserve everlasting bliss, (that being, as I have shewn you, utterly impossible) yet an ordinability, as a great doctor of our church expresseth it, that is, a meetness, fitness, and due disposition toward the obtaining it.
