Q. What is their Duty toward their Governors?
A. They must submit themselves to every Ordinance of Man [Gr. to every Humane Creature, (that is) to every one whom Men set up to Rule and Govern] for the Lord's sake, [that is, for Conscience-sake] whether it be to the King as Supreme, or unto Governors, as unto them that are sent by him, for the punishment of Evil-doers, and for the praise of them that do well.
