The motto at the bottom of a curious portrait of Jewell preserved in Salisbury Palace is—‘Vae mihi, si non evangelizavero!’ [Woe is me, if I do not preach the Gospel!] This was also the motto of Usher’s own selection for his Archepiscopal seal—illustrated by his increasing constancy in preaching, subsequent to his elevation. Augustine’s views of the Episcopal office were Scriptural—‘Episcopatus nomen est operis, non honoris—Intelligat se, non esse Episcopum, qui praesse dilexerit, non prodesse.’ [Episcopate is the title of the work, not the honor—Understand, he who loves to govern, rather than to do good, is no bishop.] Aug. de Civit. Dei. Lib. xix. c. 19.
