And against all such persons lay about thee, and do as thou wouldst do if thou were under the kings standard against his enemies which had invaded the realm. For all such persons are mortal enemies to the realm and seek to put down king & law and altogether, and to make that it might be lawful to sin unpunished. And of this manner▪ if thou mark well the difference of these two ⟨image 67⟩states and regiments / thou mayst soil all like doubts that shall be laid against thee.
And agaynste al suche persones lay aboute the, and do as thou woldeste do yf thou were vnder the kynges standerde agaynste hys enemyes whiche had inuaded the realme. For all suche persones are mortall enemyes to the realme and seke to put downe kyng & lawe and altogether, and to make that it myght be lawfull to synne vnponyshed. And of thys maner▪ yf thou marke well the dyfference of these two ⟨image 67⟩states and regymētes / thou mayst soyle al lyke doutes that shalbe layde agaynste the.
1More over when I say, there be two regiments, the spiritual and the temporal. Even so I say that every person baptised to keep the law of God and to believe in Christ. is under both the regiments, and is both a spiritual person and also a temporal / and under the officers of both the regiments / so that the king is as deep under the spiritual officer, to hear out of God's word what he ought to believe and how to live and how to rule / as is the porest beggar in the realm. And even so the spiritual officer if he sin against his neighbour or teach false doctrine, is under the kings or temporal correction, how high so ever he be. And look how damnable it is for the king to withdraw him self from the obedience of the spiritual officer / that is to say / from herring his duty, to do it, and from herring his vices rebuked, to amend them / so damnable it is for the spiritual officer, how high so ever he be, to withdraw him self from under the kings correction, if he teach false or sin against any temporal law.
