A sore iudgement and presumptuous: still I say tu quis es. &c. who art thou whyche* 1.1 condemnest. &c. The rest of that section is builded vpon the petition of the principle, for there is no man (I think) that so regardeth preaching in other places that he neg∣lecteth it in his owne. But I am fully perswaded, ye God hath so called no man to one place, that he hath restreyned him from doing good in other places also: and I cōstant∣ly beléeue, that in the mo places he laboureth and doth good, the more his seruice to be accepted vnto God. And it is a token that he is truly called when he hathe an hartie desire to profite many.
All congregations of Christians are deare vnto God: wherefore he doth not so much incline to any one, that he woulde haue the other altogither neglected. And therfore if there be but one good man placed in a whole shire, I thinke that he is there placed to do good in the countrie round about him, and that he ought so to do, bycause they be all shéepe perteining to one folde: but yet so must he labour generally, that he haue an especiall care of his owne particular flocke.
