Q 5. What must we do when the Commands of God and Men fall cross to one another?
A. In that case we must yield our obedience to God, and not to man, whatever we suffer for it. Acts. 4.19. Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.
Q. 6. Why must we obey God rather than Man?
A. Because God is the Supreme and Sovereign Lord of our Consciences, and no Creature hath power to command our Obedience, but in, and from him. Isa. 33.22. For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our King, he will save us.
