He that teacheth not the gospel, nor careth for the teaching: he that serveth not the altar, nor careth for the serving: he that goeth not on warfare, that planteth not, that feedeth not, that thresheth not, that plougheth not, that fravaileth not, that taketh no pains, that abideth not lightning, thunder, wind, weather, storm and ha•le: he that careth not to do these things: I can make no account of him. He is not within Pauls reckoning. The workman is worthy of his hire. But what right hath he to the hire which is not a workman?
