  certificate of the vacancy of the see or of the absence or disability of
  the bishop, shall suffice.

  specified  therein  the churchwardens and vestrymen so elected and their
  successors in office, together with the rector, when there is one, shall
  form a vestry and shall be the trustees of such church or  congregation;
