Surely, those bowels of mercies, kindness, meekness, and forbearance, ⟨p. 23⟩which tthe Apostle requireth, as they should be in every Christian, so chiefly in ju qui praesunt, as uMelanchthon noteth; in them, towards all, but chiefly towards these who are both good Christians, and good subjects; towards these in all things, but chiefly in matters of Ceremony and indifferency. In such matters always but chiefly when there is no contempt nor refractary disposition, but only a modest and Christian desire, to conserve the peace of a pure conscience, by forbearing to do that which it is persuaded is not right. Let Magistrates remember well. Parcere subjectis & debellare superbos.
