6 In the Ark were diverse rooms, so in the Church are diverse places and gifts, as in heaven there be diverse mansions. Many distinct offices in a ship; the Pilot, Captain, Boat-swain, Mariners; concur all in one care for the preservation of the vessel.¹ In the Church be Apostles, Prophets, Pastors, Teachers; ye• all tend to the Edification of the body of Christ. There is nothing more endangers confusion, than for one to intrude into another's room: displacing the members from their proper faculties and functions. When the rude hind will be a counsellor of State, the ignorant sectary be made a Bishop, and Jack Cade a Justice of peace.

The foot must not usurp the office of the hand, nor the hand intrude upon the office of the head. Aliud plectrum, al••d Sceptrum. So look to others vineyards, that thou be sure to^p keep thine own. If we be Christs faithful soldiers, let us keep our station, and fight it out with victorious courage. What room in the ship soever is assigned us, let us make that good. In Gods Arithmetic there be no cyphers, we must be something on earth, or we shall be nothing in heaven.
