religion_n by_o make_v a_o medley_n of_o it_o and_o judaism_n may_v have_v no_o evil_a thing_n to_o say_v of_o he_o and_o after_o a_o glorious_a but_o short_a abstract_n of_o the_o design_n of_o their_o holy_a religion_n he_o conclude_v that_o part_n of_o the_o epistle_n in_o these_o word_n these_o thing_n speak_v and_o exhort_v and_o rebuke_v with_o all_o authority_n to_o which_o he_o add_v a_o charge_n that_o may_v seem_v more_o proper_a to_o be_v address_v to_o other_o then_o to_o himself_o let_v no_o man_n despise_v thou_o the_o same_o be_v likewise_o in_o his_o epistle_n to_o timothy_n 15._o with_o this_o addition_n let_v no_o man_n despise_v thy_o youth_n 4.12_o but_o these_o word_n do_v import_v that_o it_o be_v in_o a_o bishop_n own_o power_n to_o procure_v due_a esteem_n to_o himself_o at_o least_o to_o prevent_v contempt_n since_o a_o holy_a and_o exemplary_a deportment_n and_o faithful_a and_o constant_a labour_n never_o fail_v to_o do_v that_o in_o the_o conclusion_n of_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n we_o find_v both_o the_o character_n of_o those_o who_o have_v labour_v among_o they_o and_o have_v rule_v they_o but_o who_o be_v then_o dead_a and_o also_o of_o such_o as_o be_v yet_o alive_a 7._o remember_v they_o who_o have_v the_o rule_n over_o you_o who_o have_v speak_v to_o you_o the_o word_n of_o god_n who_o faith_n follow_v consider_v the_o end_n of_o their_o conversation_n they_o have_v both_o live_v and_o die_v as_o well_o as_o labour_v in_o such_o a_o manner_n that_o the_o remember_v of_o what_o have_v appear_v in_o they_o be_v a_o effectual_a mean_n of_o persuade_v the_o hebrew_n to_o be_v steady_a in_o the_o christian_a religion_n for_o certain_o though_o while_o a_o man_n live_v let_v he_o be_v ever_o so_o eminent_a there_o be_v still_o room_n for_o ill-nature_n and_o jealousy_n to_o misrepresent_v thing_n and_o to_o suspect_v that_o something_o lie_v hide_v under_o the_o fair_a appearance_n which_o may_v show_v itself_o in_o due_a time_n all_o that_o go_v off_o when_o one_o have_v finish_v his_o course_n so_o that_o all_o appear_v to_o be_v of_o a_o piece_n and_o that_o he_o have_v die_v as_o he_o have_v live_v then_o the_o argument_n from_o his_o conversation_n appear_v in_o its_o full_a strength_n without_o any_o diminution_n but_o the_o charge_n give_v with_o relation_n to_o those_o who_o then_o

when_o the_o chief_a shepherd_n shall_v appear_v you_o shall_v likewise_o receive_v a_o crown_n of_o glory_n that_o fade_v not_o away_o with_o this_o i_o make_v a_o end_n of_o citation_n from_o

both_o of_o the_o best_a and_o of_o the_o worst_a age_n of_o the_o church_n not_o only_o the_o father_n but_o even_o the_o schoolman_n and_o which_o be_v more_o the_o canonist_n have_v carry_v this_o

that_o a_o very_a little_a meditation_n will_v serve_v to_o lay_v open_a a_o text_n to_o he_o with_o all_o the_o matter_n that_o belong_v to_o it_o together_o with_o the_o o●der_n in_o which_o it_o

that_o seem_v to_o i_o most_o important_a upon_o this_o head_n of_o the_o pastoral_n care_n with_o as_o much_o shortness_n and_o clearness_n as_o i_o can_v so_o now_o i_o be_o to_o conclude_v the_o discourse_n may_v just_o seem_v imperfect_a since_o i_o say_v nothing_o concern_v the_o duty_n incumbent_a on_o bishop_n but_o i_o will_v upon_o this_o occasion_n say_v very_o little_a on_o that_o head_n the_o post_n i_o be_o in_o give_v i_o a_o right_a to_o teach_v priest_n and_o deacon_n their_o duty_n therefore_o i_o think_v that_o without_o any_o great_a presumption_n i_o may_v venture_v on_o it_o but_o i_o have_v be_v too_o few_o year_n in_o the_o high_a order_n to_o take_v upon_o i_o to_o teach_v they_o from_o who_o i_o shall_v ever_o be_v ready_a to_o learn_v this_o be_v certain_a that_o since_o as_o be_v former_o say_v the_o inferior_a order_n subsist_v in_o the_o superior_a bishop_n must_v still_o be_v under_o all_o the_o obligation_n of_o priest_n they_o be_v then_o take_v the_o matter_n at_o low_a bind_v to_o live_v to_o labour_v and_o to_o preach_v as_o well_o as_o they_o but_o why_o be_v they_o raise_v to_o a_o high_a rank_n of_o dignity_n and_o order_n a_o increase_n of_o authority_n and_o a_o extent_n of_o cure_n and_o why_o have_v christian_a prince_n and_o state_n give_v they_o great_a revenue_n and_o a_o accession_n of_o secular_a honour_n all_o this_o must_v certain_o import_v their_o obligation_n to_o labour_v more_o eminent_o and_o to_o lay_v themselves_o out_o more_o entire_o in_o the_o work_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o which_o if_o the_o great_a encouragement_n and_o assistance_n the_o high_a dignity_n and_o privilege_n belong_v to_o they_o then_o according_a to_o our_o saviour_n example_n and_o decision_n who_o come_v not_o to_o be_v minister_v unto_o but_o to_o minister_v and_o who_o declare_v that_o he_o who_o be_v first_o shall_v be_v last_o and_o he_o who_o be_v the_o great_a must_v be_v the_o servant_n of_o all_o then_o i_o say_v the_o high_a that_o any_o be_v raise_v in_o this_o ministry_n they_o ought_v to_o lay_v themselves_o out_o the_o more_o entire_o in_o it_o and_o labour_v the_o more_o abundant_o and_o as_o our_o obligation_n to_o christ_n and_o his_o church_n tie_v we_o to_o a_o great_a zeal_n and_o diligence_n and_o to_o a_o more_o constant_a application_n of_o our_o care_n and_o thought_n so_o the_o secular_a support_v of_o our_o honour_n and_o revenue_n be_v give_v we_o to_o enable_v we_o to_o go_v through_o with_o that_o extent_n of_o care_n and_o jurisdiction_n that_o lie_v upon_o we_o we_o
