The fourth commandment is repealed in that they require that their feast days should be kept as solemnly as the Lords sabaoth1 day. For they must be kept in all honour and comeliness: and men must rest from all their labours, from morning to evening, as on the Sabaoth: whereas contrariwise, the Lord hath given permission to his servants to labour the six days, sobeit, on the seventh they will rest from the works of their callings, and do the works of the spirit.

They repeal the fifth commandment in that they teach that their clergy hath an immunity, and therefore is not bound to perform obedience to Magistrates, for so1 they have decreed, that Clerks are to be judged only of Bishops: and that they are only to rescue them from injuries. Again that the Bishop must not be judged of the secular ⟨p. 221⟩power: and that the Pope himself oweth no subjection to Kings, Princes, Emperors, but hath power to make them, and to put them down at his pleasure. But S. Paul for the maintaining of the fifth commandment, bids every soul be subject to the higher powers: and therefore the pope with his clergy (as Chrysostom hath expounded it) must be subject to civill Magistrates, unless they will exclude themselves out of the number of men, for Paul speaks to all.
