Io. Whitgifte.

This reason is buylded vpon a false grounde: for it is certaine that many pastors* 1.1 are dearely beloued of their flockes, whiche neither were elected by them, desired of them, nor knowne vnto them before. And I thinke verily that there is not one parish in England which doth the worse loue or reuerence their pastors in that respecte, excepts such only as you and your adherents haue inflamed, not only with the spirite of dis∣corde, but of disdayne, and contempt also towards all lawes, orders, and persons, that be not in all poyntes framed according to their imaginations. But would you that a Papistical parish (suche as there may be diuers in England) should choose their Pastor, that they might loue him? Surely then would they not choose a Protestant. Or do men alwayes continue in louing of those, whom they haue chosen? You know that experience teacheth the contrary: so long only do they loue him, as he pleaseth

them, and serueth their affections, whiche bycause he neither can nor ought to doe, therefore their affection of loue is soone quenched: and they beginne to hate and to contemne hym, and the rather bycause they did choose him. For in that respecte they thinke him more bound to please them.
