Apostolic Church Order 19

1James said, " The Reader shall be appointed after he has been fully proved t; bridling his tongue, not a drunkard, not a derider in his speech, but decorous in his appearance ; obedient, being the first to congregate on the Lord's-day ; a servant knowing what is meet for him, that he may fulfil the work of publishing the Gospel. For he who fills the ears of others with his doctrines, it becomes him the more that he should be a faithful workman before God."
