C. 7. Be sure you maintain due Honour and Subjection unto your Governors, Prov. 24.21. Obey no Man against God. But if you fall under persecuting Governors, in patience possess your Souls, trust God, and hold fast Innocency, and abhor Rebellion and Revenge. Do nothing but what God will own. Self-saving Men, are usually the destroyers of themselves and others. Peter, that drew his Sword for Christ, denied him the same Night, with Oaths and Curses. Fools trust themselves, and Wise Men trust God. — We may learn Wit from that Fool, who seeing great Guns and Muskets, asked, What they were to do; and being told, they were to Kill Men, said presently; Do not Men Die here without Killing? In our Country they will Die of themselves.
