Yf a man couet the office of a bishop, he desyreth a good worke. Ye and a byshop must be faureles, the husbande of one wyfe, sober discrete, honestly appareled, harberous, apt to teache, not dronken, no fyghter, not geuen to filthye lucre: but gentle, abhorting fighting, abhorring couetousnee, & one that ruleth his owne house honeslty, hauyng chyl∣dren vnder obedience withall honestie. For yf a man cannot tule his owne house, how shall he care for the congregacion of god. He maye not be a yōg scoler, lest he swell and faule into the iudgemente of the euell speaker. He must also be well reported of among them whiche are without forthe, lest he fall into rebuke and snare of the euel speaker.
Let the deacons be the husbandes of one wyfe, & suche as rule theyr chyldren well, and theyr owne housholdes.
