Si quis vero, quod absit, gradu episcopatus accepto, nec seipsum a malis actibus bene vivendo, nec subditam sibi plebem castigando, vel admonendo corrigere curat: quid huic veniente Domino, hora qua non sperat, eventurum sit, evangelica manifeste sententia declarat, qua dicitur ad inutilem servum: Eiicite in tenebras exteriores, ibi erit fletus et stridor dentium.
But if, which God forbid, anyone, having taken the dignity of bishop, doth not endeavour either to reform himself from evil courses by right living, or by punishment or warning to amend the people that is subject unto him: what shall befall this man, when his Lord cometh in an hour that he looketh not for, is plainly declared in the word of the Gospel where it is said to the unprofitable servant: Cast ye him into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
