¶Good works.
¶Good workes.
Among good works the chief are: to be obedient in all things unto Kings / Princes / Judges / and such other officers as far as they command civil things / that is to say such things as are indifferent / and not contrary unto the commandments of god / for then must we rather obey god then men / Acts in the fifth chapter although we should lose both our substance and life thereto: To honour ⟨image 137⟩rulers: to promote peace: to pray for all commonalties. And to apply all our studies to profit them.
