Rainoldes. Nay, if he be sick, it is his duty then not to preach by him self. God hath laid an other duty upon him, to ⟨p. 367⟩look to his health that he may do his former duty: or, (if his appointed time be fulfilled,) to think upon a higher duty.

For, if he be sick that he cannot preach, he is discharged before God: yea, although no other do preach in his stead.
