Meekenes and gentlenes answereth.
Not thine owne perswasion, but the precept of the Apostle is to be followed in thys, who as concerning this matter, hath admonished his beloued disciple, saying; Rebuke not an Elder, but exhort him as a father,and the younger men as bretheren, the elder women as mothers, the younger as sisters, with all purenesse. And againe;The seruant of the Lord, sayth he, must not striue, but must be gentle toward all men: apt to teach, suffering the euill men patiently, instructing them with meekenes that are contrary minded. And gaine,Rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.
