¶ The fourth parte of the Homilee agaynst disobedience and wilfull Rebellion.
FOR your further instruction (good people) to show unto you how much almighty God doth abhor disobedience and wilful rebellion, specially when rebels advance them selves so hie, that they arm them selves with weapon, and stand in field to fight against God, their prince, and their country: it shall not be out of the way to show some examples set out in Scriptures, written for our eternal erudition. We may soon know (good people) how heinous offence the treachery of rebellion is, if we call to remembrance the heavy wrath and dreadful indignation of almighty God against such subjects as do only but inwardly grudge, mutter, and murmur against their governors, though their inward treason so privily hatched in their breasts, come not to open declaration of their doings, as ⟨p. 584⟩hard it is whom the devil hath so far enticed against Gods word to keep them selves there: no he meaneth still to blow the coal, to kindle their rebellious hearts to flame into open deeds, if he be not with grace speedily withstanded.
