But and if thou canst not poll thy self with wisdom, and laugh & bear a good countenance, as though thou rejoicedst while such persons poll thee, every man shall poll thee, and they shall maintain them, and not defend thee. Let this therefore be a common proverb, be contented to be polled of some man, or to be polled of every man.

Ye must understand that there be two states or degrees in this world: 1the kingdom of heaven which is the regiment of the Gospel. And y• kingdom of this world which is the temporal regiment. In the first state there is neither father, mother, son daughter: neither master, mistress, mayo, manservant: nor husband, nor wife, nor Lord, or subject, nor man or woman. But Christ is all, and each to other is Christ himself. There is none better then other, but all like good, all brethren, and Christ only is Lord over all. Neither is there any other thing to do, or other law save to love one an other as Christ loved us. In the temporal regiment is husband, wife, father, mother, son, daughter, master, mistress, maid, manservant, Lord and subject.
