Nothing of man is safe without a guard, and nothing of man can be unsafe, which is thus guarded. They shall be kept, who can say, The Lord is our keeper. And they cannot ⟨p. 530⟩be kept, no not by legions of Angels, who have not the Lord for their keeper. None can keep us, but he, and he hath promised to keep us for evermore. Some men are weary of their offices, and some are put out of office;1 God is neither. In that Prophetical curse against Judas, tis said, Let another take his office (Ps. 109.8.) What office? It is this word, and notes there the office of looking to, or of preserving the souls of others, we commonly call it, The cure of souls. Such is the office of all the Ministers of Christ, That's Episcopacy by divine right; this in the text is divine Episcopacy. That word which here in Job we translate visitation, and in the Psalm now cited, office, is called Episcopacy by the Apostle (Act. 1.21.) Christ is the great Bishop or visitor both of our souls and bodies. He is the ecumenical Bishop. The whole world is his Diocese, He preserveth man and beast. See more of this point, Chapter 7.20.
