Chap. III.
Of vvhat qualitie they must be, vvhom he ordaineth Bishops, 8 and Deacons.
14 and the cause of his vvriting to be, the excellencie of the Catholike Church,
and of Christ, vvho is the obiect of our religion.
1 A Faithful saying. If a man desire a Bishops office,
he desireth09Q1282 a good worke.
2 noteIt behoueth
therfore09Q1283 a Bishop to be irreprehensible, the
husband09Q1284 of one vvife, sobre, vvise, comely,
chast, a man of hospitalitie, a teacher,
3 not
giuen to vvine, no fighter, but modest, no quareler, not couetous,
4 vvel ruling his ovvne house, note hauing his children
subiect vvith al chastitie.
5 But if a man knovv not to rule
his ovvne house: hovv shal he haue care of the Church of
God?
6 09Q1285Not note note a neophyte: lest puffed into pride, he fall into
the iudgment of the Deuil.
7 And he must haue also good
testimonie of them that are vvithout: that he fall not into
reproch and the snare of the Deuil.
8 09Q1286Deacons in like maner note chast, not double-tonged, not
giuen to much vvine, not folovvers of filthie lucre:
9 hauing
the mysterie of faith in a pure c&obar;science.
10 And let these
also be proued first: & so let them minister, hauing no crime.
11 The vvomen in like maner chast, not detracting, sober,
faithful in al things.
12 Let deacons be the husbandes of one
vvife: vvhich rule vvel their children, & their houses.
13 For
they that haue ministred vvel, shal purchase to them selues
a good degree, and much confidence in the faith vvhich is
in Christ Iesvs.
14 These things I vvrite to thee, hoping that I shal come
to thee quickly.
15 but if I tary long, that thou maiest knovv
how thou oughtest to conuerse09Q1287 in the house of God, which
is the Chvrch of the liuing God,09Q1288 the piller and ground
of truth.
16 And manifestly it is a great sacrament of pietie,
vvhich vvas manifested in flesh, vvas iustified in spirit, appeared
to Angels, hath beene preached to gentils, is beleeued
in the vvorld, is assumpted in glorie.
