scripture_n teach_v and_o especial_o the_o epistle_n of_o st._n paul_n to_o timothy_n in_o which_o he_o endeavour_v to_o teach_v he_o how_o he_o ought_v to_o behave_v himself_o in_o the_o house_n of_o god_n also_o that_o out_o of_o every_o thing_n that_o shall_v be_v offer_v at_o the_o altar_n there_o ought_v to_o be_v make_v four_o division_n viz._n one_o for_o the_o bishop_n and_o his_o family_n for_o hospitality_n and_o entertainment_n of_o stranger_n the_o second_o for_o the_o clergy_n the_o three_o for_o the_o poor_a and_o the_o four_o for_o repair_v of_o church_n but_o as_o you_o be_v well_o skill_v in_o the_o monastic_a rule_n nothing_o ought_v to_o be_v possess_v by_o any_o clergyman_n in_o particular_a in_o the_o english_a ch●rch_n which_o late_o by_o god_n grace_n be_v bring_v to_o the_o faith_n but_o you_o ought_v to_o imitate_v the_o primitive_a convert_v among_o who_o none_o enjoy_v any_o thing_n as_o his_o own_o of_o those_o thing_n he_o possess_v but_o all_o thing_n be_v in_o common_a among_o they_o in_o the_o second_o question_n agustine_n desire_v to_o be_v inform_v whether_o priest_n not_o able_a to_o contain_v may_v marry_v and_o if_o they_o shall_v marry_v whether_o they_o must_v return_v to_o the_o secular_a life_n this_o question_n bede_n have_v not_o but_o preposterous_o join_v the_o follow_a answer_n to_o the_o first_o question_n yet_o sir_n henry_n spelman_n have_v add_v it_o out_o of_o the_o paris_n edition_n of_o council_n anno_fw-la 1518._o where_o the_o answer_n of_o pope_n gregory_n be_v thus_o that_o if_o there_o be_v any_o of_o the_o clergy_n out_o of_o holy_a order_n that_o can_v contain_v they_o ought_v to_o marry_v and_o still_o to_o receive_v their_o stipend_n conclude_v great_a care_n ought_v to_o be_v have_v of_o the_o stipend_n of_o the_o clergy_n that_o they_o may_v be_v diligent_a in_o service_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o occasion_n of_o make_v a_o long_a discourse_n concern_v their_o keep_a hospitality_n when_o all_o the_o overplus_n ought_v to_o be_v bestow_v upon_o pious_a and_o religious_a use_n ccccxcviii_n the_o three_o question_n of_o augustine_n be_v this_o that_o since_o there_o be_v but_o one_o faith_n why_o be_v there_o divers_a custom_n of_o church_n one_o manner_n of_o say_v mass_n in_o the_o holy_a roman_a church_n and_o another_o in_o those_o of_o gaul_n to_o which_o pope_n gregory_n answer_v to_o this_o effect_n you_o know_v very_o well_o the_o custom_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n in_o which_o you_o be_v breed_v but_o it_o be_v my_o pleasure_n that_o if_o you_o can_v find_v either_o in_o the_o roman_a church_n or_o those_o of_o gaul_n or_o in_o any_o other_o church_n any_o thing_n more_o please_v to_o god_n careful_o choose_v it_o and_o what_o thing_n soever_o you_o can_v gather_v from_o any_o other_o church_n of_o good_a and_o pious_a example_n bring_v they_o into_o the_o english_a church_n for_o thing_n be_v not_o to_o be_v belove_v for_o the_o place_n but_o place_n for_o the_o good_a thing_n that_o be_v in_o they_o augustine_n four_o question_n be_v what_o punishment_n ought_v to_o be_v inflict_v on_o he_o that_o commit_v sacrilege_n the_o pope_n answer_n to_o this_o question_n be_v somewhat_o long_o i_o shall_v only_o give_v you_o the_o substance_n of_o it_o in_o the_o first_o place_n he_o distinguish_v between_o those_o who_o commit_v theft_n out_o of_o a_o wicked_a intent_n and_o those_o that_o offend_v out_o of_o necessity_n from_o whence_o it_o follow_v that_o some_o be_v to_o be_v punish_v with_o fines_n other_o with_o stripe_n and_o some_o more_o severe_o and_o when_o say_v he_o you_o proceed_v against_o any_o with_o more_o rigour_n than_o ordinary_a you_o must_v do_v it_o out_o of_o charity_n not_o out_o of_o anger_n because_o the_o punishment_n be_v inflict_v to_o this_o intent_n that_o the_o party_n punish_v may_v be_v save_v then_o show_v the_o end_n of_o such_o punishment_n from_o the_o example_n of_o father_n correct_v their_o child_n pure_o for_o their_o good_a though_o they_o love_v they_o very_o well_o he_o admonish_v he_o to_o use_v a_o mean_a in_o chastise_v they_o and_o not_o without_o the_o rule_n of_o reason_n but_o if_o you_o ask_v how_o thing_n take_v from_o the_o church_n be_v to_o be_v restore_v god_n forbid_v that_o the_o church_n shall_v receive_v any_o increase_n for_o the_o loss_n of_o mere_a earthly_a thing_n or_o go_v about_o to_o make_v advantage_n of_o such_o trifle_n the_o three_o follow_a question_n concern_v in_o
