Our Saviour Christ doth show. Sisal infatuatus fuerit ad nihil ultra valet nisi ut proijciatur foras. If the salt be unsave, rye, it is good for no thing, but to be cast out and trodden of men. By this salt, is understand Preachers, and such as have cure of souls. What be they worthy then? Wherefore serve they: For nothing else but to be cast out.
Our Sauiour Christe doth shew. Si sal infatuatus fuerit ad nihil vltra valet nisi vt proijciatur foras. If the salt be vnsaue, rye, it is good for no thing, but to be cast out and troden of men. By this salte, is vnderstande Preachers, and such as haue cure of soules. What be they worthy then? Wherefore serue they: For nothing els but to be cast oute.
Make them quondams, out with them, cast them out of their office, what should they do with cure that will not look to them: An other dishonour is this Ut conculcentur ab […]. To be trodden under mens feet, not to be regarded, not to be esteemed: They […] at their doublets still. S. Paul in his epistle, qualifieth a Bishop, and saith that he must be. Aptus ad docendum, ad refellendum apte. To teach and to confute all manner of false doctrine. But what shall a man do with […], if he do not use it? ⟨image 209⟩It were as good for us to be with out it. […] bishop came to1 me the last day, and was angry with me for a certain Sermon that I made in this place. His chaplain had complained against me, because I had spoken against unpreaching prelates. Naye quod the bishop, he made so indifferent a Sermon the first day, that I thought he would mar all the second day. He will have every man a quondam as he is. As for my quondamship I thank God that he gave me the grace to come by it, by so honest a means as I did. I thank him for mine own quondamship, and as for them, I will not have them made quondams, if they discharge their office, I would have them do their duty. I would have no more […] as God help me. I owe them no other malice then this, and that is none at all.
