relic_n of_o sin_n and_o natural_a uncleanness_n it_o be_v very_o true_a that_o it_o be_v to_o be_v desire_v that_o in_o those_o which_o be_v such_o man_n that_o nothing_o be_v see_v to_o shine_v in_o they_o but_o example_n of_o godliness_n and_o of_o all_o christian_a virtue_n in_o which_o no_o earthly_a thing_n may_v be_v perceive_v but_o see_v that_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o they_o shall_v be_v altogether_o uncladde_a of_o the_o old_a rag_n of_o our_o first_o parent_n adam_n in_o vain_a this_o be_v to_o be_v look_v for_o neither_o be_v this_o the_o meaning_n of_o saint_n paul_n but_o only_o that_o they_o be_v unreprovable_a unreprovable_a what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v unreprovable_a in_o regard_n of_o notorious_a offence_n of_o all_o criminal_a case_n that_o they_o be_v not_o convince_v of_o infamous_a and_o shameful_a sin_n for_o which_o they_o which_v commit_v they_o be_v call_v to_o judgement_n as_o to_o commit_v adultery_n fornication_n murder_n theft_n bribery_n or_o to_o have_v bear_v false_a witness_n against_o any_o man_n &_o such_o like_a for_o in_o truth_n if_o any_o one_o be_v apprehend_v in_o these_o gross_a and_o palpable_a crime_n have_v be_v admit_v to_o this_o charge_n and_o that_o it_o be_v know_v it_o must_v needs_o cause_v great_a offence_n in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n see_v that_o the_o pastor_n shall_v not_o only_o have_v a_o good_a testimony_n of_o those_o that_o be_v of_o the_o same_o church_n but_o also_o of_o stranger_n but_o if_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o pastor_n be_v sometime_o a_o little_a intemperate_a in_o his_o action_n as_o if_o it_o chance_v that_o he_o drink_v more_o than_o ordinary_a or_o be_v make_v angry_a or_o envious_a or_o ambitious_a or_o tickle_v with_o some_o such_o like_a passion_n which_o be_v not_o so_o well_o order_v as_o he_o himself_o desire_v as_o to_o be_v a_o little_a too_o much_o give_v to_o his_o profit_n to_o be_v unthankful_a troublesome_a hard_a to_o please_v sour_a too_o careful_a nevertheless_o he_o take_v no_o pleasure_n in_o these_o vice_n and_o go_v about_o to_o extenuate_v they_o and_o to_o correct_v they_o every_o day_n such_o thing_n hinder_v not_o but_o that_o he_o may_v be_v unreprovable_a for_o if_o none_o shall_v be_v admit_v into_o the_o ministry_n but_o those_o which_o be_v altogether_o void_a of_o such_o infirmity_n into_o which_o they_o often_o fall_v as_o well_o as_o other_o it_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v conclude_v that_o we_o shall_v have_v no_o minister_n at_o all_o wherefore_o the_o donatist_n have_v bad_o reason_v when_o to_o maintain_v that_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n serve_v to_o no_o use_n they_o have_v conclude_v that_o no_o filthy_a and_o unclean_a thing_n can_v be_v cleanse_v by_o that_o which_o be_v unclean_a for_o say_v they_o minister_n which_o ought_v to_o preach_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o administer_v the_o sacrament_n be_v defile_v with_o vice_n as_o other_o man_n whereby_o the_o ministry_n lose_v his_o force_n and_o efficacy_n they_o be_v great_o i_o say_v deceive_v for_o beside_o that_o the_o reason_n before_o allege_v be_v very_o sufficient_a it_o may_v further_o be_v add_v that_o neither_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n nor_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n have_v no_o force_n at_o all_o from_o the_o person_n of_o the_o minister_n but_o from_o the_o ordinance_n &_o commandment_n of_o god_n see_v that_o he_o have_v institute_v they_o to_o this_o end_n and_o we_o may_v observe_v hereby_o that_o this_o reason_n be_v of_o such_o force_n that_o although_o a_o minister_n be_v wicked_a and_o spot_v with_o those_o vice_n of_o which_o s._n paul_n will_v have_v he_o cleanse_v and_o who_o be_v lawful_o call_v his_o impiety_n be_v unknown_a his_o ministry_n shall_v not_o cease_v to_o be_v of_o power_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o he_o exercise_v his_o ministry_n not_o in_o his_o own_o name_n but_o in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n of_o who_o depend_v all_o the_o force_n of_o the_o ministry_n whereof_o he_o be_v author_n alone_o moreover_o we_o affirm_v that_o although_o saint_n cyprian_n have_v say_v that_o baptism_n do_v confirm_v remission_n of_o sin_n and_o that_o the_o force_n of_o the_o say_a baptism_n do_v depend_v of_o the_o quality_n of_o the_o pastor_n that_o this_o great_a doctor_n have_v err_v in_o this_o point_n as_o well_o as_o many_o other_o which_o we_o do_v of_o purpose_n set_v down_o to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o authority_n of_o such_o a_o person_n shall_v not_o diminish_v the_o reason_n allege_v by_o we_o the_o which_o we_o may_v confirm_v by_o many_o testimony_n of_o the_o scripture_n but_o this_o shall_v suffice_v that_o when_o john_n baptist_n the_o forerunner_n of_o christ_n jesus_n show_v the_o come_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o baptize_v in_o baptise_v he_o say_v i_o baptise_v you_o with_o water_n but_o he_o that_o come_v after_o i_o shall_v baptise_v you_o with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o in_o so_o say_v it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o outward_a sign_n but_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v he_o which_o give_v force_n and_o virtue_n to_o his_o baptism_n by_o the_o secret_a and_o inward_a operation_n of_o his_o spirit_n in_o like_a sort_n we_o may_v speak_v of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n because_o it_o have_v the_o same_o reason_n that_o the_o minister_n can_v do_v nothing_o else_o but_o propound_v unto_o the_o people_n by_o a_o lively_a voice_n but_o god_n must_v give_v understanding_n &_o imprint_v that_o which_o be_v speak_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o make_v they_o to_o feel_v the_o power_n thereof_o he_o then_z that_o desire_v to_o be_v a_o minister_n he_o must_v take_v heed_n not_o only_o to_o be_v pure_a and_o without_o reproof_n of_o these_o gross_a &_o notorious_a vice_n but_o also_o of_o other_o light_a fault_n for_o although_o it_o have_v be_v say_v that_o if_o a_o minister_n be_v give_v to_o commit_v some_o small_a offence_n yet_o nevertheless_o he_o be_v without_o reproof_n our_o meaning_n be_v not_o in_o any_o sort_n to_o flatter_v or_o to_o make_v fault_n less_o they_o they_o be_v whatsoever_o they_o be_v for_o if_o he_o let_v loose_v the_o bridle_n too_o much_o to_o those_o vice_n of_o which_o we_o have_v make_v mention_n before_o and_o think_v that_o he_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v put_v by_o in_o desire_v this_o charge_n we_o say_v that_o it_o be_v as_o detestable_a to_o god_n as_o be_v pollute_v with_o some_o horrible_a &_o infamous_a crime_n yet_o nevertheless_o be_v promote_v to_o the_o ministry_n see_v that_o god_n unto_o who_o he_o must_v give_v account_n of_o his_o charge_n have_v in_o as_o great_a horror_n those_o vice_n which_o seem_v saml_a as_o those_o which_o be_v more_o apparent_a we_o call_v these_o small_a fault_n as_o covetousness_n ambition_n envy_n and_o many_o such_o like_a because_o they_o be_v so_o ordinary_o esteem_v of_o man_n but_o if_o we_o suffer_v ourselves_o to_o be_v carry_v too_o far_o herein_o they_o become_v so_o great_a that_o they_o be_v as_o violent_a stream_n that_o carry_v we_o before_o they_o into_o many_o downfal_n now_o let_v we_o see_v those_o mischief_n which_o they_o procure_v to_o themselves_o which_o run_v too_o far_o into_o those_o sin_n that_o we_o may_v the_o better_a beware_v &_o also_o the_o beauty_n of_o those_o virtue_n which_o be_v desire_v of_o a_o pastor_n to_o be_v follow_v keep_v the_o order_n afterward_o ensue_a when_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o a_o bishop_n must_v be_v the_o husband_n of_o one_o wife_n wife_n how_o it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v that_o a_o bishop_n must_v be_v the_o husband_n of_o one_o wife_n although_o that_o do_v not_o proper_o appertain_v to_o the_o matter_n in_o hand_n yet_o nevertheless_o see_v that_o s._n paul_n set_v down_o a_o description_n of_o the_o manner_n of_o a_o pastor_n we_o will_v brief_o speak_v something_o thereof_o although_o there_o have_v be_v many_o that_o have_v draw_v out_o diverse_a exposition_n upon_o this_o place_n yet_o the_o best_a &_o that_o which_o be_v to_o be_v prefer_v before_o other_o be_v that_o of_o saint_n chrysostome_n who_o say_v that_o here_o plain_o polygamy_n be_v forbid_v in_o a_o bishop_n the_o which_o the_o jew_n hold_v as_o a_o law_n in_o their_o time_n of_o which_o they_o be_v not_o ashamed_a because_o they_o be_v easy_o draw_v to_o give_v way_n to_o the_o marriage_n of_o many_o wife_n be_v provoke_v on_o both_o side_n first_o when_o they_o read_v in_o the_o old_a testament_n that_o
