Vers. 2. But of a ready mind.

That is, even with pleasure. Let the Pastor or Bishop apply his Office and Vocation, and that with a ready willingness. They that thus chearfully, promptly and zealously discharge their function, are those, which as they do their duties willingly, so do they not greedily pull the fleece from the Sheep. There be therefore two sorts of false Pastors. The one sort occupy their room grudgingly and unwillingly; the o∣ther willingly and gladly; but yet for gain and filthy Lucre.
