¹15 But least any man stumble before he be ware let us mark that there is a double government in §1man. One spiritual, whereby the conscience is framed unto godliness:² the other politic, whereby a man is taught the duty of humanity and civility. §2For there be in man,³ as it were, two worlds, which both divers kings and divers laws do govern. And yet we must take heed that we do not wickedly draw unto the civill order, that which the Gospel teacheth concerning spiritual liberty.
