Handling the second Doctrine; which is,
Doct. 2. That Faith helps against the immoderate fear of men of Authority, of any Creature.
First: Those that are Godly ought to have, and have due & reverend respect unto all those that are in Authority: though they be not afraid of the displeasure of the King, or of any in Authority, in the Cause of God, yet those that are truly gracious and Godly, do give due reverence to them, in their persons and in their Authority and power. Though they are not so basely afraid as others are, to yield to any thing against God, or Conscience, yet so far as they may, no people in the world give that reverent respect unto Authority, as Gods people do.
