For if the Pastor have discharged his duty after his supposed warning, that their blood shall light upon their own pates: what need he leave a deputy behind him? He dare not answer that the deputy is but off pure grace off the Pastor / and if he leave him to instruct off necessity: how hath he discharged his duty / that in necessary substitution off an other in his place / he still confesseth him self bound unto? And those other duties off comforting the sad / binding up the broken / &c. be aswell commanded unto the Pastor / as the bringing them to the knowledge of the truth: and be also more proper / considering that his government is properly off those / which have some entrance into the church. by what rule is it lawful more / to turn over unto his deputy / thes other offices off ministry: then that which him self esteemeth him bound to / in his own person? If he may set over his second / and third instructions / and admonitions / &c. why may be not the first? So it may come to pass (which he denying in words / doth in deed confirm) that a Pastor ¹may do all by deputy.
