As though he had said, lest ye should think it a light thing, and but a trifling matter to withstand and disobey ⟨image 16⟩the magistrates, underst and ye y• in your so doing ye withstand and fight against god, and therefore ye provoke judgement and vengeance against your selves, & be culpable and guilty of gods everlasting displeasure, if ye repent not, and give over your obstinate & disobedient rebelly on. Here Saint Paul hath set forth the end and success of sedition, treason, conspiracy, & rebellion, too say, destruction both of body and soul. Who is able to contend and fight with God, and overcome him? Is not he only almighty, and only strength?
