The second, whether he that doeth administer them, be called by lawful vocation to that charge to administer them. The third, whether he doeth administer them according to the ordinance of the Lord or no, or whether he do disguise and pervert them, or whether he do administer others in the stead of them. For as there ought nothing to be attempted in the Church without lawful vocation, even so the only vocation is not sufficient, if the charge by her committed, be not executed according to the Lords ordinance. For albeit that a man shall be called by lawful vocation, he may very well stray afterward, and may pass the limits thereof, and do clean contrary to his duty, but he shall not be allowed therein.¹ And therefore it behoveth every man herein to take good heed that he be not deceived. For if the Minister do deliver any other word, then that which God hath revealed unto us in his holy scriptures, and any other Sacraments then those which the Lord hath ordained, and in any other sort, he may well boast of his calling, for that shall not at all let, but that he is a false minister, and a seducer in that behalf, and that those unto whom he shall administer, be not seduced and deceived by him. For his vocation ⟨image 26⟩may not exempt him, but so far forth as he followeth the same, and not at all in that wherein he doeth contrary thereunto. On the contrary, if he do administer the word and the Sacraments which he ought to do, and in such sort as the Lord hath commanded, his infidelity and wicked life shall not let, but that which is of God shall be alway of God, and shall always have his virtue and his efficacy in those which are made capable by him, because that, that which the Lord hath ordained, taketh his virtue and force of him,² and not at all of the Minister which is but the instrument, which of him self can do nothing, but so far forth as the Lord shall work by him. And therefore the Gospel,³ which Judas preached, was no less the Gospel then that which was preached by the other Apostles his fellows; for so much as he was called to the same ministry with them. This notwithstanding, Jesus Christ yet in those days said that Judas was a Devil. He was then a Devil and an Apostle both together.
