And when ye shall hear of a church that is
vacant hath no one to preach
therein,
then be that a call unto you, and be
ye mindful of the call, and take ye charge of the
flock thereof and of
the fleece thereof, even of the golden fleece.
And when ye shall have fleeced the flock,

call, and if the flock be greater, or rather if
the fleece be greater,
then greater be also unto
you the call. Then shall ye leave your old
flock, and
of the new flock shall ye take the charge.
