Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood. Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction.
Acts 20:28; II Timothy 4:2

This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach . . .
