bernard_n say_v that_o a_o man_n dignify_v without_o merit_n be_v like_o smoke_n in_o a_o high_a candlestiks_a and_o that_o a_o man_n in_o high_a place_n not_o able_a to_o govern_v be_v like_o a_o

this_o case_n what_o be_v the_o labour_n of_o the_o bishop_n become_v the_o question_n to_o which_o the_o arguer_n against_o bishop_n or_o rather_o against_o their_o land_n seem_v to_o say_v preach_v be_v that_o their_o work_n or_o labour_n but_o then_o let_v i_o propound_v three_o other_o question_n 1._o what_o be_v mean_v by_o preach_v 2._o whether_o preach_v alone_o be_v the_o bishop_n work_n 3._o whether_o not_o withal_o or_o not_o more_o rather_o the_o well_o order_v or_o govern_v the_o church_n be_v his_o work_n and_o that_o i_o may_v clear_v the_o last_o question_n first_o consider_v i_o pray_v when_o saint_n paul_n in_o two_o place_n viz._n 1_o cor_n 12.28_o and_o ephes_n 4.11_o have_v set_v down_o both_o the_o extraordinary_a temporary_a and_o perpetual_a ordinary_a officer_n of_o the_o church_n that_o of_o the_o late_a sort_n he_o mention_n only_o two_o government_n and_o teacher_n 1_o cor._n 12._o and_o pastor_n and_o teacher_n ephes_n 4._o now_o if_o the_o governor_n and_o pastor_n in_o these_o place_n be_v distinct_a from_o teacher_n then_o i_o hope_v it_o be_v evident_a that_o preach_v alone_o be_v not_o the_o office_n or_o work_v of_o a_o bishop_n as_o some_o will_v have_v it_o and_o that_o they_o be_v distinct_a it_o may_v be_v conceive_v for_o that_o the_o other_o officer_n mention_v in_o those_o place_n as_o apostle_n prophet_n evangelist_n be_v distinguish_v one_o from_o the_o other_o and_o therefore_o probable_o these_o two_o governor_n or_o pastor_n and_o teacher_n aught_o or_o may_v likewise_o mean_v two_o several_a work_n and_o when_o saint_n paul_n in_o each_o place_n say_v god_n give_v and_o god_n set_v these_o in_o the_o church_n in_o that_o he_o give_v they_o several_a name_n and_o title_n why_o may_v we_o not_o conceive_v that_o under_o the_o distinct_a name_n the_o work_n likewise_o be_v to_o be_v distinguish_v and_o that_o pastor_n in_o saint_n paul_n to_o the_o ephesian_n may_v be_v the_o same_o with_o governor_n i_o appeal_v to_o saint_n paul_n himself_o who_o act_v 20.28_o send_v for_o not_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d as_o he_o term_v they_o to_o the_o corinthian_n and_o to_o the_o ephesian_n but_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d the_o elder_n of_o the_o church_n in_o his_o charge_n to_o they_o use_v not_o the_o metaphor_n of_o a_o schoolmaster_n or_o teacher_n but_o of_o a_o shepherd_n and_o therefore_o begin_v take_v care_n to_o the_o flock_n and_o what_o be_v he_o to_o do_v in_o that_o care_n why_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d to_o feed_v the_o church_n and_o may_v not_o he_o be_v

not_o these_o elder_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d teacher_n but_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d overseer_n or_o true_o bishop_n and_o do_v not_o the_o same_o apostle_n tit._n 1.7_o call_v this_o
