VIII. All men must be subject to the higher powers: and all the higher powers must be subject to Christ himself and to his word.

VIII. All men must be subiect to the higher powers: and all the higher powers must be subiect to Christ himselfe and to his word.

:701p. 248–249

Lastly we believe, that every soul, that is, ¹every man, none except, and therefore also every inferior power, must be subject to the higher and greater power: yea and that superior power also, no less then the inferior, and all other men must be subject to Christ the king of kings, and Lord of all Lords. ²For it is Gods will that they should all kiss the Son: and bow their necks under the yoke of his discipline. And therefore we believe that it belongeth to the true government and edification of the church; that princes should chiefly subject themselves to be taught, admonished, ⟨p. 249⟩and reformed by the word of God: whereby others, by their example, may do so also the more cheerfully: and that if they refuse to do it, the princes or rulers, may more freely punish them for it, and compel them to their duties.

Lastlie we beleeue, that euery soule, that is, ¹euerie man, none except, and therefore also euerie inferior power, must bee subiect to the higher and greater power: yea and that superior power also, no lesse then the inferior, and all other men must bee subiect to Christ the king of kings, and Lord of all Lords.
