The Book of Pastoral Rule. Preface.
The Book of Pastoral Rule
Chapter I. That the unskilful venture not to approach an office of authority.
Chapter II. That none should enter on a place of government who practise not in life what they have learnt by study.
Chapter III. Of the weight of government; and that all manner of adversity is to be despised, and prosperity feared.
Chapter IV. That for the most part the occupation of government dissipates the solidity of the mind.
Chapter V. Of those who are able to profit others by virtuous example in supreme rule, but fly from it in pursuit of their own ease.
Chapter VI. That those who fly from the burden of rule through humility are then truly humble when they resist not the divine decrees.
Chapter VII. That sometimes some laudably desire the office of preaching, while others, as laudably, are drawn to it by compulsion.
Chapter VIII. Of those who covet pre-eminence, and seize on the language of the Apostle to serve the purpose of their own cupidity.
Chapter IX. That the mind of those who wish for pre-eminence for the most part flatters itself with a feigned promise of good works.
Chapter X. What manner of man ought to come to rule.
Chapter XI. What manner of man ought not to come to rule.
Part II. Of the Life of the Pastor. Chapter I. How one who has in due order arrived at a place of rule ought to demean himself in it.
Chapter II. That the ruler should be pure in thought.
Chapter III. That the ruler should be always chief in action.
Chapter IV. That the ruler should be discreet in keeping silence, profitable in speech.
Chapter V. That the ruler should be a near neighbour to every one in compassion, and exalted above all in contemplation.
Chapter VI. That the ruler should be, through humility, a companion of good livers, but, through the zeal of righteousness, rigid against the vices of evildoers.
Chapter VII. That the ruler relax not his care for the things that are within in his occupation among the things that are without, nor neglect to provide for the things that are without in his solicitude for the things that are within.
Chapter VIII. That the ruler should not set his heart on pleasing men, and yet should give heed to what ought to please them.
Chapter IX. That the ruler ought to be careful to understand how commonly vices pass themselves off as virtues.
Chapter X. What the ruler's discrimination should be between correction and connivance, between fervour and gentleness.
Chapter XI. How intent the ruler ought to be on meditations in the Sacred Law.
Part III. How the Ruler, While Living Well, Ought to Teach and Admonish Those that are Put Under Him.
Chapter I. What diversity there ought to be in the art of preaching.
