The PASTOR findeth that everie parte of his office and everie name whereby he is called in Scripture doeth call upon him to be personally resident and where he resideth to be a terror to the wicked and a comfort to the godly The PRELATE eyther waiteth upon Counsell Session or Court or dwelleth so farre from his charge that 〈◊〉 ●each of Caranza proving the necessitie of the personall residence of ●●●ops may be applyed to him He is a Bishop but without overseer● an Embassador but runneth where his errand lyeth not a ●●ptaine Soldier but farre from his station a Father and steward but suffereth the children to perish for want of foode Or if he happen to be resident his Lordship is a protection to the Papist to the carnall professor and to the Idoll-Minister and Idle-belly and such a vexation to the vigilant Pastor that he had much rather he were a Non-resident 17. The PASTOR must be so unblameable that he haue a good testimonie of them that are without he must rule well his owne house having his children in subjection with all gravitie not accused of ryot or unruly He must be sober not giuen to wine he must not be greedy of filthy lucre nor covetous he must not be a brauler a stryker nor fighter The PRELATE mocketh at conscience gravitie sobrietie modestie patience painfulnes c. and calleth them Puritanizing 18. The PASTOR laboureth to keepe faith in a good conscience and by the blessing of God upon his labours findeth the encrease of the gifts of God in his old age and the grace of God growing in the hearts of the people The PRELATE by loosing a good conscience maketh shipwrack of fayth and by the curse of God upon his slouth and defection may finde himselfe like Balaam who seeking hornes did loose his eares that is seeking preferment he lost the gift of prophesie may see grace decayed worne out of the hearts of the people The Prelates objection THe Prelate will object notwithstanding all the evill that hath been sayd or that ye can say against him That the name the calling the power and the life of the Bishop is set downe in the Word The Pastors answer THE question is not of the Bishop but of the prelate or Diocesane Bishop whether he be the divine Bishop Haman could thinke upon no man but himselfe when the man was named whom the King would honour euen so the Prelate imagineth no other Bishop to be spoken of in Scripture but himselfe And as Alexander the great tooke Jupiters ominous salutation 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 O Child or Babe for 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 O son of Iupiter euen so in the Prelates ambitious eare everie word of a Bishop sounds honour unto him But the trueth is that the pastor not the Diocesane Bishop is the Bishop divine 1.
