our lotte whiche in the Greke tonge is called Cliros of whō cometh this word Clericus is nat y e erthly dominion but y e heuēly The Leuites in the olde law which were Clerkes had nat ꝑte with their brethern wolde you y t we shuld also haue the portion of our brethern wherfore or for what intente shuld I haue riches possessyōs which am cōmaunded by y e wordes of my lorde nat to be careful so moch as for to morow to whō he sayd also these wordes Do nat gather or hurd vp treasur vpon erth Do nat possesse golde neither syluer neither money in your purses And it is a harder thing for a riche mā to ētre into y e kyngdome of heuen than it is y t a camell do passe through the eye of a nedle And therfore he chose to himselfe poore ministers and those which had forsaken all thinges that they might folowe him And he him selfe also was the ensample of pouertie So moche is euen but the handlyng of riches money enemy contrary to innocēcie and vertue nat onely the possessyon and dominion of them Onely Iudas which had the bagges dyd beare suche thīges as were sent dyde play the false traytoure and for the loue of money whervnto he was wōted He both repreued and betrayed his maister lorde and god I feare therfore o Cesar lest you wyl make me of Peter to be Iudas Herken also what Paule sayth We brought nothyng into this worlde and it is no doute that we shall also cary nothinge with vs from hence Hauing meate drinke clothes to be couered with all Let vs be cōtented therwith for they that couer to be made riche do fall into temptation and into the snare of the deuyll and into many desyers both vnprofytable and also noysome whiche do drowne men and cast them downe into dethe and perdition For couetousnesse is the rote of all euylles whiche certayne men desyring haue erred from the faithe and haue wrapped themselues in many dolours and sorowes But thou being the man of god flee eschew these thinges And do you Cesar bydde me receyue those thinges whiche I ought to eschewe and auoyde euen as venome or poyson And moreouer I praye you accordīg to your wisedome consyder what place tyme or leysure can be lefte among these thīges to make sacrifyce to do goddes seruyce The apostles whan certayn men gruged were miscōtent that their widowes wer dispised in y e daily ministeri made answer that it was nat mete or cōueniēt y t their selues shuld leaue y e prechīg of y e word of god ministre or serue y e table And yet to ministre to widowes is a farre other maner thyng than to exacte require tributes rentes customes collage than to haue care charge of the treasure house to paye soldiers wages to be entāgled with a thousād lyke cares busynesses No mā y t is y e soldiar of god entāgleth hīself with worldly busynes saith Paule Did Aaron and other that were of y e stocke of Leuy medle with the administratiō or ordring of any other thing than onely of the tabernacle of the lorde His sonnes bi cause they had taken other mennes fyer whiche was nat mete nor according into their sencers were brent and consumed with fyer sent from heuen And do you byd or will vs to take the fyer of worldly riches whiche is bothe forbydden and also prophane into the holy sencers that is to say into to the offyce and workes belonging to preestes Eleazar Phinees and other bisshoppes ministers either of the tabernacle or of the temple dyd they administre or medle with the ordring of any thinge but onely of that whiche belonge to the doinge of sacrifyce and to the worshippyng of god Do I say dyd they administre nay morouer might they haue administred any other thing if they wolde satisfye and fullfyll their offyce and dutie whiche thinge if they wolde nat do they shulde here the curse of the lorde which sayth Cursed be they whiche do the worke of the lorde rechelesly whiche execration or curse though it may falle vpon all men yet moste of all and principally vpon prestes O howe great is the offyce of a bisshoppe how greate a thinge is it to be heed of the churche how great a thynge to be made pastor and ouerseer and gouernour of so great a folde of shepe of whose hande shall be required the blode of euery lambe and shepe that shall perisshe and be lost To whom also it was sayd If thou louest me more then other do so as thou confessest and knoledgest thyselfe to do fede my lambes Agayne if thou doest loue me so as thou sayest fede my shepe And the thirde tyme also if thou louest me fede my shepe And do you Cesar wyll me to fede also gottes and hogges whiche can nat be fedde nor kepte all of one and the same herdes man Besydes this you ar willyng and aboutward to make me a kynge or raither an emperour that is to say heed chef of kīges But our lord Iesu Christ beyng both god man kynge preest whā he sayd y t his self was a kynge Herkē of what kingdome he did speke My kingdome saith he is nat of this worlde For if my kingedome were of this world doutles my seruauntes wolde fyght for me And what were the firste wordes of his preachinge and the thinge whiche he oftentimes rehersed in his sermons was it nat this Do you penaunce for the kingdome of heuen is approched and drawen nere The kingdome of god is approched to the which the kingdome of heuens shal be compared and lykened Did he nat whan he spake these wordes declare that the seculare kingdome dothe nothing apperteyne to him And therfore nat only he dyd nat desyre nor seche for suche maner kingdome but also whan it was offred to him hi wolde nat take it For whan he perceyued and vnderstode vpon a certayn tyme that the people had purposed appoynted in their myndes to take him and to make him kyng he fledde into y e solytarines of the moūtaynes whiche thynge he hath gyuen and taught to vs that be his successours for to be folowed nat onely by his example but also by his precepte and cōmaundemēt saying in this wyse The prynces and gouernours of the gentiles are lordes ouer thē And they whiche ar greattest do exercyse power and auctorite vpon them It shall nat be so among you but who so euer is wyllyng among you to be made greattest let him be your mynistre And who so euer wolde be chefest among you shall be your seruaunte lykewyse as the sonne of man hath nat come to be mynistred vnto but to mynistre and to gyue his lyfe for the redemption of many God in the olde tyme to let you vnderstand O
