sane id liberius dico, de multitudine circumstantium multos episcopales esse, sed totos episcopos esse non posse; et, cum singuli diversorum charismatum proprietate potiantur, sufficere omnes sibi, omnibus neminem.
I do indeed say rather frankly that in the multitude standing around me, there are many men of episcopal quality, but they cannot all be bishops; and possessing as they do their special portions of the diverse spiritual graces, they all satisfy their own requirements, but none satisfies the requirements of everybody.
