Wish the king no evil in thy thought,1 and speak no hurt of the rich in thy privy chamber: for a bird of the air shall betray thy voice, and with her feathers shall she bewray thy words.

- 1Eccle. x.
Let every soul submit him self unto the higher powers.1 For there is no power but of God. The powers that be, are ordained of God. Who soever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God. But they that resist, shall receive to them selves damnation. For rulers are not fearful to them that do good, but to them that do evil. Wilt thou be without fear of the power? Do well then: and so shalt thou be praised of the same. For he is the minister of God for thy wealth.
