Bishops⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ Not a young scoler, lest he, beyng puffed vp, fall into the condempnation of the deuyll ⁷ He must also haue a good report of the which are without, lest he fall into the rebuke and snare of the deuyll ⁸ Likewise must ye ministers be graue, not double tongued, not geuen to much wine, neither greedy of fylthy lucre ⁹ Holdyng the misterie of the fayth in a pure conscience ¹⁰ And let them first be proued, then let them minister, beyng blamelesse ¹¹ Euen so must their wyues be graue, not euyll speakers, sober, faythfull in all thynges ¹² Let the deacons be the husbandes of one wife, and such as can rule their children well, and their owne housholdes ¹³ For they that haue ministred well, get them selues a good degree, and great libertie in the fayth [whiche is] in Christe Iesus
