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.
1More ouer when I saye, there be two regymentes, the spyrytual and the temporall. Euen so I saye that euery persone baptysed to kepe the lawe of God and to beleue in Chryst. is vnder bothe the regymentes, and is both a spyrytuall person and also a temporall / and vnder the offycers of both the regymentes / so that the kynge is as depe vnder the spyrytual offycer, to heare out of Goddes worde what he ought to beleue and howe to lyue and howe to rule / as is the porest begger in the realme. And euen so the spyrytuall offycer yf he syn agaynste hys neyghbour or teache false doctryne, is vnder ye kynges or temporall correccyon, howe hye so euer he be. And loke howe dampnable it is for the kynge to withdrawe hym selfe frō the obedyence of the spyrytual offycer / that is to saye / from heringe his duty, to do it, and frō herynge his vyces rebuked, to amende them / so damnable it is for the spyrytuall offycer, howe hye so euer he be, to withdrawe hym selfe from vnder the kynges correccyon, yf he teache false or syn agaynst any temporall lawe.
