Audi vocem populi in omnibus quoe dicunt tibi, 1non enim te reprobant sed me reprobarunt ne regnem super eos. That is: Hear the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee, for they have not cast thee a way but me. They wrench these words a wry after their own fantasies, & make much doubt as touching a king, and his Godly name. They that so do walk inordinately. they walk not directly and plainly, but delight in balks, and stubble way.

It maketh no matter by what name the rulers be named,1 if so be they shall walk ordinately with God, and direct their steps with God. For both patriarchs, Judges, & kings, had, and have their authority of God, and therefore Godly. But this ought to be considered which God sayeth. Non proeficere tibi potes hominem alienum, that is. Thou must not set a stranger over thee. It hath pleased god to grant us a natural liege king & Lord, of our own nation an English2 man, one of our own religion. God hath given him unto us, and is a most precious treasure, and yet many of us do desire a stranger to be king over us. Let us no more desire to be bankers, but let us endeavour to walk ordinately and plainly, after the word of God.
