Reddite ergo que sunt Cesaris Cesari, et que sunt dei, deo. Gyue that that is Caesars to Cesar & that that is gods to god.

This Doctrine is grievous, heavy, & irksome to covetous hearts rebellious and seditious hearts. Give, give, they can not away with it, it can not stick in their minds, nor settle in their stomachs: they would rather be taking, scraping, and catching, then giving. But godly persons will well accept and take it, for it is to them a great pleasure, Joy and comfort. For the better understanding of this place, ye shall understand, ⟨image 2⟩Christ came to bring us out of bondage and to set us at liberty: not from civil burden as from obeying the magistrates, from paying tax and try but, but from a greater burden, and a more grevouser burden, the burth•• […], the burden not of […] but of the soul, to make us free from it, and to redeem us from the curse and malediction of the law unto the honourable state of the children of God. But as for the civil burdens, he delivered us not from them, but rather commanded us to pay them: give, give, sayeth he to Cesar obedience, tribute, and all things dew too Cesar. For the understanding of this text, it shall be needful to consider ⟨image 2⟩the circumstance going before: which thing duly considered, giveth a great light to all places of the scripture: who spake these words, to whom they were spoken, upon what occasion, and afore whom. Therefore I will take the whole fragment and shred, taken out of God's book for the gospel of this day, written in the gospel of Matthew the .xxii. Chapter.
