Christ, the Lord of the house, and Prince of the people, hath ordained Bishops to be the sbuilders of the one, and tcaptains of the other. And he hath chosen them in respect of their industry, that is, that they be uwise, righteous, holy, temperate, xmodest, watchful, apt to teach, fit as you would say to build an house, and guide an army. But he that is so chosen must discharge the duty by him self, and not by others: according to the law, whence your rules are taken. Wherefore those rules of law cannot discharge Bishops, and therefore not the Popes, from preaching by themselves in person.
