My LORD’s BibleApostolic Constitutions, Book II 2
1Let him therefore be sober, prudent, decent, firm, stable, not given to wine; no striker, but gentle; not a brawler, not covetous; not a novice, lest, being puffed up with pride, he fall into condemnation, and the snare of the devil: for every one that exalts himself shall be abased. Such a one a bishop ought to be, who has been the husband of one wife, who also has herself had no other husband, ruling well his own house. In this manner let examination be made when he is to receive ordination, and to be placed in his bishopric, whether he be grave, faithful, decent; whether he has a grave and faithful wife, or has formerly had such a one; whether he has educated his children piously, and has brought them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord; whether his domestics do fear and reverence him, and are all obedient to him: for if those who are immediately about him for worldly concerns are seditious and disobedient, how will others not of his family, when they are under his management, become obedient to him?
