1This light and salt pertained not then to the Apostles and now to our bishops and spiritualty only. No it pertaineth to the temporal men also. For all kings and all rulers are bound to be salt and light not only in example of living, but also in teaching of doctrine unto their subjects, as well as they be bound to punish evil doers. Doth not the scripture testify that king Dauyd was chosen to be a shepherd and to feed his people with God's word. It is an evil school master that can nought save beat only. But it is a good school master that so teacheth that few need be beaten. This salt and light therefore pertain to the temporalty also, and that to every member of Christs church / so that every man ought to be salt and light to other.
