XXVIII. Ministers with their families ought to bee main∣tained,
with honest and liberall stipends.
Wee also beleeue that the church cannot well bee gouerned, vnlesse such necessarie maintenance be bestowed on the ministers, as whereby they and their family may liue in an honest estate: For no man, except he haue whereupon to liue;
can do his duetie: & Christ saieth, the workeman is worthie of his wages: and the Apostle writeth largely thereof in more thē one place:
shewing by many reasons, that ministers which serue the churches ought to receiue of the same church what so is needfull for them:
and that they haue good right to demaund the same: so farre from offence is it, that they should take it, as some would cauill: yet notwithstanding couetousnesse, aswell in all other as chiefly in ministers we do with the Apostle vtterly condemne:
as also wee allow not prodigalitie: and we teach that both these faultes are to be shunned and auoyded.
