He must teach them all the counsel of God, and keep nothing back, but whatsoever concerneth the salvation of his flock, that must he teach them: yea, so absolute must his doctrine be, that there must be no point of the will of God, pertaining to the salvation of his children, but the Minister must be both able and diligent to declare. Therefore it is requisite and needful, that a rare gift of God be added, who only openeth their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, wherein the most holy will of God is revealed,1 and nothing that is needful for our salvation omitted: so that whosoever knoweth not the scriptures must needs err and be deceived: but the Minister who must declare all the counsel of God unto his children, must be very perfect therein.
