Bible Comments

Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.

Ver. 3. Neither as being lords] About the year 1620 the clergy and laity of England set themselves against the pope's exactions; and when the envoy alleged that all churches were the pope's, Magister Leonardus made answer, Tuitione non fruitione, defensione non dissipatione. Protect not fleese, defend not scatter. (Jac. Revius in Vit. Pontiff)
