Moreover there is herein / difference between the spiritual / and bodily watch / that there it is enough of one danger to have given one warning: but in the spiritual / the alarm bell must be rung oftentimes / for one / and the same danger / yea and ¹that in things well known. Again although in bodily watch / the watchman after he hath given warning may go to his rest: yet it is not so with the spiritual watchman. For he is bound not only to admonish them of the coming of the enemies / but to fortify / and comfort them: they must as the priests in the battles of the Israelites / blow continually the silver trumpet / not only that they should every one take him self to his armour: but that in the fight through that passioned / and stirring music off trumpets / they might blow up / and whet the courage off the soldiers.

Likewise that the Pastors agreement with the fieldshepherd / is not only in leading them to the pastures / and setting meat before ³them / whereby they may be kept from starving: but in healing the sick / bringing home the strays / strengthening the weak: whereunto if we ad that off S. Peter / which teacheth that he ought to strengthen the strong: I would gladly know off the Answ. what time there is / wherein one off these duties is not in season to be done off the Pastor.
