but that which ye have already hold fast till I come. Wherefore pro hac, &c. kFor this liberty we ought stoutly to fight against false Teachers. Finally, it is to be noted. that though in some things we may and do commendably refuse obedience to the Laws of those whom God hath set over us, yet are we ever obliged (and accordingly intend) still to subject our selves unto them. For to be subject, doth signify (as lZanchius showeth) to be placed under, to be subordinate, and so to give honour and reverence to him who is above, which may well stand without obedience to every one of his Laws. Yea and mDr. Field also tells us, that subjection is generally and absolutely required, where obedience is not.
