Of the Magistrate. Chap. 51.

:142p. 52

And as the true Church doth acknowledge the ministers of the Gospel, as the true ministers of God, ordained by him. For the administration of spiritual things, even so doth she acknowledge the magistrates as ministers of his Justice, ordained by him for the conservation of the public peace,¹ and therefore she doth willingly submit her self to them, in all things for God. For she knoweth very well that God would, that every man should be subject unto them, in all things which are of their charge, and that they which resist the same, resist the ordinance of God, & do set up themselves against him.

ANd as the true Church doth acknowledge the ministers of the Gospell, as the true ministers of God, ordeyned by him. For the administration of spirituall things, euen so doth she acknowledge the magistrates as ministers of his Iustice, ordeyned by him for the conseruation of the publique peace,¹ and therefore she doth willingly submit hir selfe to them, in all thinges for God. For she knoweth very well that God wold, that euery mā shuld be subiecte vnto them, in all things which are of their charge, and that they whiche resiste the same, resist the ordinance of God, & do set vp themselues against him.
