Would to God that these things were observed by all who desire the worthy office of a Pastor! For neither the Patrons Presentation; nor the Clergies Nomination, Examination, and Recommendation, nor the Bishops laying on of hands, and giving of Institution, nor all these put together, can make up to a man his calling to be a Pastor to such or such a particular Flock, without their own free election. Even as in those places where Princes are elected, the election gives them jus ad rem (as they speak) without which, the inauguration can never give them jus in re: so a man hath from his election power to be a Pastor, so far as concerneth jus ad rem, and Ordination only applieth him to the actual exercising of his pastoral office, which Ordination ought to be given to him only who is elected, and that because he is elected. And of him who is obtruded and thrust upon a people, without their own election, it is well said by (t) Zanehius, that he can neither with a good conscience exercise his Ministry, nor yet be profitable to the People, because they will not willingly hear him, nor submit themselves unto him.
