I proved also that no king hath power to grant them such liberty: but are as well damned for their giving, as they for their false purchasing. For as God giveth the father power over his children: even so giveth he him a commandment to execute it, and not to suffer them to do wickedly unpunished but unto his damnation, as thou mayst see by Hely the high Priest. &c. And as the master hath authority over his servants: even so hath he a commandment to govern them. And as the husband is head over his wife: even so hath he commandment to rule her appetites and is damned if he suffer her to be an whore & a miss liver, or submit him self to her, & make her his head. And even in like manner as God maketh the king head over 1his Realm, even so giveth he him commandment to execute the laws upon all men indifferently. For the law is Gods and not the kings. The king is but a servant to execute the law of God, and not to rule after his own imagination.
I proued also that no kyng hath power to graūt them such libertie: but are as well damned for their geuyng, as they for their false purchasing. For as God geueth the father power ouer his children: euen so geueth he hym a commaundement to execute it, and not to suffer them to do wickedly vnpunished but vnto his damnation, as thou mayst see by Hely the hygh Priest. &c. And as the master hath authoritie ouer his seruauntes: euen so hath he a commaundement to gouerne them. And as the husband is head ouer hys wife: euen so hath he commaundemēt to rule her appetites and is damned if he suffer her to be an whore & a misse liuer, or submit him self to her, & make her his head. And euen in lyke maner as God maketh the kyng head ouer 1his Realme, euen so geueth he him cō maundement to execute the lawes vppon all men indifferently. For the law is Gods and not the kyngs. The king is but a seruaunt to execute the law of God, and not to rule after his owne imagination.
