The .iii. Chapter.

THis is a true sayinge. Yf a mā covet y^e* 1.1 office of a bysshope / he desyreth a good [ A] worke. Ye and a bisshope must be faut∣lesse / the husband of one wyfe / sober / discrete / honestly aparelled / harberous / apt to teache / not dronkē / no fighter / not gevē to filthy lu∣cre: but gentle / abhorrynge fightynge / abhor∣rynge coveteousnes / and one that rueleth his awne housse honestly / havynge chyldren vn∣der obedience / with all honeste. For yf a man cannot rule his owne housse / how shall he ca∣re for the congregacion of God. He maye not [ B] be a yonge skoler / lest he swell and faule into the iudgement of the evyll speaker. He must also be well reported of amonge them which are with outforth / lest he fall into rebuke and snare of the evyll speaker.

These thinges write I vnto the / trustinge to come shortly vnto the: but and yf I tarie [ D] longe / y^t then thou mayst yet have knowled∣ge how thou oughtest to behave thy silfe in the housse of God / which is the congregacion of the livinge God / the pillar and grounde of trueth. And with out naye great is that miste¦ry of godlines: God was shewed▪ in the fles∣she / was iustified in the sprete / was sene of an¦gels / was preached vnto the gentyls / was be leved on in erth and receaved vp in glory.
