Use 1 Instruction, to please our governors as much as we may, and that in most awful and loyal manner, and with all due care beware how we kindle their anger: for their just wrath is a spark of Gods wrath: their menaces are his threatenings: their sentences are his judgements: their stripes are his strokes: and those doth he plague, whom they do punish. Let us be far then from those practises which may give them cause of provocation against us, and keep our selves from those companions which may embolden us against them. My son (saith the wisdom of God) fear the Lord and the King, and meddle not with them that are seditious.1

And this serveth also to admonish them who are already fallen into the displeasure of mighty and potent personages that rule over them, that they sit not down securely while their danger is so great. The more eminent the person is against whom the offences are committed, the more imminent the peril is to the party that committeth the offences.
