This matter shall need no great contention. The like words have been uttered by sundry other Holy Fathers. S. Chrysostom saith, Multi Sacerdotes, 1& Pauci Sacerdotes: Multi nomine, Pauci Opere: Many Priests there be, and few Priests there be: Many in name, and few in Labour. Againe, Quomodò potest esse Magister, qui Discipulum non habet? Acquire Discipulum, & esto Magister: Howe can he be a Master,2 that •ath no Scholar? Get thee a Scholar, and then be a Master. S. Ambrose saithe, Nisi bonum Opus amplectaris, Episcopus esse non potes: Oulesse thou embrace the good labour, a Bishop thou canst not be. S. Gregory saith, Sacerdotes nominamur, & non sumus: Priestes we are called, but Priests we are not.
