Luke. 15. 4.

The text.

What ∴ man of you hauing an hundred sheepe: and if he had lost one of them, doth he not leaue the ninetie nine in the desert, and goeth after that which was lost vntill he find it?

The note.

This man is our Sauiour Christ, whose care and trauaile in searching and reducing sinners to repentance, all spirituall men especiallie should follow.

The answer.

You follow faire. If there be anie whom you thinke straied from you in places where you are of power, in stéed of seeking, finding, and laying on your shoulders, you, I say, make shorter woorke, that is, you cut their throtes, or roste them aliue, which is a plaine euidence that you are woolues, and not shepherds.
