:110p. 27

Q. 153. May we lawfully swear obedience, ¹in all things lawful and honest, either to Usurpers, or to our lawful Pastors? Answ. If the King shall command us, it is lawful. So the old Non-conformists, who thought the English Prelacy an unlawful Office, yet maintained that it is lawful to take the Oath of Canonical Obedience, because they thought it was imposed by the King, and Laws, and that we swear them to them, not as Officers clamming a Divine Right in the Spiritual Government, but as Ordinaries or Officers, made by the King, according to the Oath of Supremacy, And if Prelacy were proved never so unlawful, no doubt but by the Kings Command, we may swear or perform formal Obedience to a Prelate. Read Bradshaw against Can concerning this, Pag. 181. Christ. Direct. 2d. Edit.
