So that if ether he forthincking him self / like the shop better then the church: or the patron will keep the door shut against such insufficient men / which the bishop opened so wide: or (as sometime falleth out) they can not agree of their market: it comet to pass that he is made a Minister / which ether can not / or will not / not only not fulfil / but not so much as lay hand off that ministry / whereunto he was appointed. Contrary unto the rule off Saint 1Paul / that leaveth not this in choice: but commandeth precisely / that if after trial they be found blameless / they should exercise their ministry.
