Absalom with a thousand traitors against one true subject prevailed not against his father Dauyd, but dyed the death of a traitor. Even so did those ⟨image 17⟩whom before I named. And as S. Paul speaketh he•e, so speaketh Christ to Peter. He y• striketh¹ with the sword shall perish by the sword, if gods word be true (as it can not be false) all such as do by thought, word, or deed intend to trouble, unquiet change, altar, move or resist the ordinance of god, which is the Magistrates and higher powers, must needs of necessity perish, as well in this world as in the world to come, except they repent, and cease from doing of evil. Now goeth Saint Paul fourth with the text.
