MarginaliaThe office of a good shepeheard to stand by his flocke.It was the office of a good shep- heard (he sayd) not to flye in time of perill, but rather to abyde the daunger, lest the flocke be scatte- red: or els lest peraduenture, in so doyng, he should leaue some scruple in their mindes, thus to thinke, that he had fedde them |
with dreames and fables, contrarye to the worde of God. Wherfore besechyng them to moue hym no more therin, hee tolde them, that he feared not to yelde vp both bodye and soule in the quarell of that truth, which he had taught: say- ing with S.
