This light and salt pertained not then to the Apostles, and now to our 1Bishops and spirituality only. No it pertaineth to the temporal men also. For all kings and all rulers are bound to be salt and light, not only in example of living, but also in teaching of doctrine unto their subjects, as well as they be bound to punish evil doers. Doth not the scripture testify that king David was chosen to be a shepherd and to feed his people with Gods word. It is an evil schoolmaster that cannot but beat only. But it is a good schoolmaster that so teacheth that few need to be beaten. This salt and light therefore pertain to the temporality also, and that to every men ber of Christs Church: so that every man ought to be salt & light to other.2
