Answer. I will so do, by the help of God.

Page 209 - Be to the flock of Christ a shepherd, not a wolf ; feed them, devour them not. Hold up the weak, heal the sick, bind up the broken, bring again the outcasts, seek the lost. Be so merciful, that you be not too remiss ; so minister discipline, that you forget not mercy ; that when the Chief Shepherd shall appear, you may receive the neverfading crown of glory ; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
