1 The elders which are among you, I exhort, whiche am also an elder, & a wytnesse of the afflictions of Christe, and also a partaker of the glory that shalbe opened: 2 Feede you God his flocke, whiche is committed vnto you, takyng the ouersight of them not as compelled therto, but wyllyngly, not for the desyre of fylthy lucre, but of a good mynde: 3 Not as though ye were Lordes ouer God his heritage: but that ye be an ensample to the flocke. 4 And when the chiefe shephearde shall appeare, ye shall receaue an incorruptible crowne of glory. 1 Peter 5:1-4, Bishops' Bible of 1568.
