Hart. Yes: they may. But then they become wolves, as you heard out of D. Stapleton. They are not thieves and robbers.

Rainoldes. Then the Popes succession doth not warrant them but that they may be wolves. Which is as much to my purpose, as if you said, thieves, and robbers. And in very truth, unless D. Stapleton had slubbered up that place of scripture (in S. John) to make it serve for his succession: it would be apparent that Christ meant the same by thieves and robbers, that you by wolves. For when the Pharisees had tspoken much against him, and sought by upersuasion and xexcommunication to lead away the people: he (to make the faithful wise against their practises) ydeclareth both his office and person in a parable, wherein he compareth Gods chosen to sheep, and him self to a shepherd. And by that occasion he advertiseth them of three sorts of teachers, which meddle with the flock of God: the first, a shepherd; the second, a hireling; the third, a thief and a robber. zA shepherd entereth in by the door into the sheepfold, and careth for the sheep so, that when the wolf cometh, he standeth in their defence, adventuring his life for them. aA hireling entereth in, as the shepherd doth, but careth not for the sheep: and therefore in the time of danger he fleeth, and leaveth them to be scattered. b
