Paul hath left words for our obediencs. Let every soul be subject to the higher powers,1 for there is no power but of God, and the powers that be, are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God, and they that resist, receive unto them selves judgement. For he is the Minister of God for thy wealth: But, if thou do evil, fear, for he beareth not the sword in vain. Wherefore ye must be subject, not because of wrath only, but also for conscience sake. Give therefore tribute to whom you owe tribute, custom to whom custom, fear to whom fear, honour to whom you owe honour. Now sayeth Pius, Let no soul be subject to the higher powers, resist power, resist the ordinance of God, be not Subject neither for wrath, nor for conscience. Yield your Prince no tribute, no custom, no fear, ⟨p. 99⟩and no honour. Howe agreeth this with the Apostle? Whether it be right in the sight of God that you be lead by Peter & Paul, the Apostles of Christ, or by Pope Pius, judge ye.
Paule hath left words for our obediēcs. Let euerie soule be subiect to the higher powers,1 for ther is no power but of God, and the powers that be, are ordained of God. Whosoeuer therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinaunce of God, and they that resiste, receiue vnto them selues iudgement. For hee is the Minister of God for thy wealth: But, if thou doe euill, feare, for he beareth not the sworde in vaine. Wherefore yée must be subiect, not bicause of wrath onelye, but also for conscience sake. Giue therefore tribute to whome you owe tribute, custome to whom custome, feare to whom feare, honour to whome you owe honour. Nowe sayeth Pius, Let no soule be subiect to the higher powers, resiste power, resiste the ordinaunce of God, bee not Subiecte neyther for wrath, nor for conscience. Yeelde youre Prince no tribute, no custome, no feare, ⟨p. 99⟩and no honour. Howe agréeth this with the Apostle? Whether it be right in the sight of God that you be lead by Peter & Paul, the Apostles of Christ, or by Pope Pius, iudge yée.
