ceremonyes or toyes they wyll take hym for a trewe shepehearde of Pastoure where as he is none other thynge but a verye rauenyuge Wolfe I haue for thee nones A description of the false Pastour by a col●u●●ō or cōparyson of the trew and of a set pourpose deferred the description eyther of a Byshop or Pastoure whyche Paule hath sette forth Titu i.i. Timo iii. vnto thys place that by the lightsomnesse and true beholdinge of the lyght we maye knowe the backenesse and by the nature and propertie of the true pastour we may also espye oute the false Paul wryteth after this maner A Bisshop therfore musst be blameles the husband of one wyfe diligēt sobre discret a keper of hospitalitie apte to teach not geuē to ouer moche wyue no fyghter not gready of fylthy lucre but gentyll abhorring fyghting abhorring coueteousnesse one that ruleth well hys owne house one that hath chyldren in subiection wyth all reuerence And agayne a byshop must be blamelesse as the steward of God not stubborne not angrye not geuen to moche wyne noo fyghter not geuē to fylthy lucre but a keper of hospitalitie oue that loueth goodnesse prudent sobre righteous godly temperate and soche as cleueth to the true woorde of doctryne that he may be able also to exhorte by wholesome learninge and to improue them that saye agaynste it In these wordes Paule doeth set forth vnto vs synges and tokens wherby we oughte to know and choose a pastour Wherby this also doeth necessarely folowe that they be all false pastours and vnapt to the ministratio of this offyce as many as are not enoued wyth these vertues Yet all these thinges that Paule doeth reherse are comprehended wyth in loue and charytye as we haue declared before Now althoughe some pastoure The Pastour must be blamelesse bee through sa●aunderous persons yll reported and by bacbyters false knaues diffamed and also accused yet it ought no to be hurtfull vnto hym excepte he be conuinced of thee cryme that is layde agaynste hym by true wytnesses and sute argumentes and tokens For Manye of an yl wyll that they beare to the truth sclāder the ministers of gods worde nowe in thys moste wycked worlde we doo see a greate sorte whych is more the pitie that of a malyce hatered and yll wyl that they beare vnto thee truthe are not ashamed that wyth moste manyfest and playne lyes to sklaunder and dyffame the minysters of goddes worde But yf he be accused of some notable cryme and thereof lawfullye by sure wytnesses conuynced he is not worthye to mynyster any lōger the sacred holy office O how I might now dresse hādel depict set forth in their owne colours certaine of those hygh prelates which do sklaūderously lay to my charge all heinous crimes that they cā ymagine or thynke vpon yf I shulde any thyng be moued wyth their shamefull backbytynges and sklaunders Thee Pastour yf he hath not the gift of chastite muste marye Againe it is manifest playne by the wordes of Paul that they are al false pastour that haue rather to liue abhominably thā to take wyues For they that are such are growē come to that impudencie vnshamefastnes that not onely they be not ashamed of their abhominable lyuing but also are nothing ashamed to mynyster vnto other occasyon of euyl The Pastour must be ●obre of detestablenes Paul doth geue like iudgemēt sētēce of bibbers drōkardes riotous persons Yet in the meane seasō we do not fobid any mā to vse a moderate eatīg drinkīg I pastour must not be stubburne nor wtout moderation Lykewise he is commaunded that he be not stubborne styfnecked wtout moderacyon in hys wordes and other gestures of hys whereby we do vnderstande that these lyars teysters fantastycall reuylers are false prophetes Also they that vse no moderatyon or sobrenes in theyr apparell gesture or other behauoyour of theyr body ar not Pastoures but rauenynge wolues As many Thee Pastour is bounde to kepe hospitalitie as kepe no hospitalytie especyally towardes the poore and neadye are false pastours Yet in thys place maye thee commune sorte of pastours be excused which haue scascely any thynge lesse to lyue vppon for al thinges as we se at come to that poīt that thee myghtye prelates and Bysshops yea the seculare rulers also Oye vngētill gētilmē y● dayli do improperate benefyces restore for shame vnto y● pastors theyr lyuinges haue takē away frō them their liuinges thythes scarcely leauing any thing to the poore pastours wherw t they may lyue at hom a poore lyfe Wherfore it is thee duetye of churches and parysshes to prouyde lyberally of their rhythes other reuenues for their pastour that he may both haue that whych is necessary also helpe them that ar in necissitie nede Yf this were done wee shuld se by by al those actes craftes and deceates wherwith they haue alured the people committed vnto theym to offerynges to fall awaye of theyr owne selues A pastour must be able to teache But afore al thinges they are vnworthye of the name of a pastour that be not apte or able to teache or thoughe they can teache yet they will not stycke or cleaue to the doctryne that they maye strongely and wyth a constant stoute corage confound and reproue theym A faithful father that speake against the truth The faithful pastour muste haue also modeste or sobre chyldren godly and well brought vp Whereby it maye bee gathered also that yong mē which are vnexpert of the worlde are yet ruled by theyr affectyons and lustes oughte not to be admytted too thys moste peryllous and harde offyce but menne of rype Iudgemente whyche haue alreadye shewed a proue of thyr studye and godlynesse in the bryngynge vppe of theyr chyldren except we myght fynde some Timothes that is to saye yonge men endued with all gyftes appertayning to a Byshop That whyche folowethe in Paul any mā may easely vnderstand For they are so playne that they nede no farther exposition Wherefore we shal by this meane accordynge to thee saying of christ know a false pastour hypochrite by his

that haue neyther faythe nor charite Moreouer they that haue vnfaythfull and mysbeleuyng hartes nor bee fyred or kyndeled wythe thee loue of god as it was shewed by the example and wordes of christ when we spake before of the true pastour ●r no lesse false pastours than they that we haue spokē of alredy Thou shalt
