Church-Officers are also accountable to God for all the souls committed to them.1 They are Stewards of the Mysteries of God, 1. Cor. 4. 1. and Stewards are accountable. We watch for your souls (saith the Apostle) as they that must give an account, Heb. 13. 7. If these servants be unfaithful in their work and trust, the blood of souls shall be required at their hands, Ezek. 3. 17, 18. which are fulmina, non verba (saith Erasmus) thunder-bolts, rather than words. The guilt of blood is the greatest guilt; and of all blood, the blood of souls.

Those that spend their time and strength all their days, in manuring,1 and ploughing the fields, do maintain themselves and their families by their labours; their hands are sufficient for themselves and theirs.
