To preach Gods word is to much for half a man. And to minister a temporal kingdom is to much for half a man also. Either other requireth an whole man. One therefore can not well do both. He that avengeth himself on every trifle is not mete to preach yt patience of Christ, how that a man ought to forgive and to suffer all things. He that is overwhelmed with all manner riches, and doth but seek more daily, is not meet to preach poverty. He that will obey no man, is not mete to preach how we ought to obey all men. Peter saith Act. vj. It is not meet that we should leave the word of God and serve at the tables. Paul saith in the ix. chapter of the first Corinth. Woe is me if I preach not a terrible saying, verily for Popes, Cardinals, and Bishops. If he had said, woe be unto me, if I fight not & move Princes unto war, or if I increase not S. Peters patrimony (as they call it) it had 1been a more easy saying for them.

He that auengeth himselfe on euery trifle is not mete to preach yt pacience of Christ, how that a man ought to forgeue and to suffer all thynges. He that is ouerwhelmed with all maner riches, and doth but seeke more dayly, is not meete to preach pouertie. He that will obey no man, is not mete to preach how we ought to obey all men. Peter saith Act. vj. It is not meete that we should leaue the word of God and serue at the tables. Paule sayth in the ix. chapter of the first Corinthe. Wo is me if I preach not a terible saying, verely for Popes, Cardinals, and Byshoppes. If he had sayd, wo be vnto me, if I fight not & moue Princes vnto warre, or if I encrease not S.
