Nether may the inferior person avenge him self upon the superior or violently resist him for what so ever wrong it be. If he do he is condemned in the deed doing: in as much as he taketh upon him that which belongeth to god only which saith vengeance is mine and I will reward Deut. xxxij.1 And christ saith Math xxvi. all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. Takest thou a sword to avenge ⟨p. xxxj⟩thy self▪ so givest thou not room unto god to avenge thee but robbest him of his most hi• honour / in that thou wilt not let him be judge over thee.
