Mark, Though private men are here bid not to strive one with another, or reprove one another; yet Hosea he goes on in his striving and reproving. Therefore shall they fall in the day and the Prophet also shall fall with them in the night. 1So that those in office must go on though they be striven against; so long as they remain in office they must still go on though people strive against them. It is a speech I remember Latimer 2hath in one of his Sermons, Many Ministers (saith he) they will not preach, and if they be asked the reason it is this, because they can do no good to people; Oh this (says he) is a naughty answer. Certainly so long as you continue in that place whether you do good or whether you do not good, you must go on in your work.
