Would not he that heard such a speech as this from a Prelate be forced to call for a basin? and after he had recovered himself he might well give answer in these words. I hear the word of a deceitful tongue. Behold thou art called a Bishop and gloriest in that title: thou persuadest t•y self, thou art a chief guide and father of the Church, thou therefore that teachest another, teachest thou not thy self? Thou that sayest it is a woeful thing not to preach the Gospel, doest thou neither preach Christ faithfully, nor suffer those that would? Darest thou by thine own authority, and for t•ine own pleasure, hinder so many able men from preaching? thou that professest the flock must be fed, doest thou thrust o•t feeders, and keep in starvers? Therefore thou art inexcusable, O Prelate, whosoever thou art, that condemnest another for that whereof thou art both beginning and ending.
