We may not for the commandment of men transgress the rule of Piety, by doing any thing which is not for Gods glory, and ordered according to his will; neither ought any of us to obey men, except nFor the Lords sake; and oas the servants of Christ, doing the will of God; which teacheth us the manner how we ought to obey men, namely, ppropter Christum & sicut Christus praecipit. For if we should know no more but the will of man for that which we do, then we should be the qservants of men, not the servants of Christ. Neither yet may we for any humane ordinance, break the rule of Charity: but rwhatsoever either would weaken, or not edify our brother; be it never so lawful; never so profitable to our selves; never so powerfully by earthly authority enjoined; Christians who are not borne unto themselves, but unto Christ; unto his Church; and unto the fellow members; must not dare to meddle with it.
