Take an example: thou art in thy fathers house among thy brethren and 1sisters. There if one fight with an other, or if any do thee wrong, thou mayst not avenge nor smite: For that pertaineth to thy father only. But if thy father give thee authority in his absence, and command thee to smite if if they will not be ruled: now then art an other person. Notwithstanding yet thou hast not put of the first person, but art a brother still, and must ever love, and prove all thing to rule with love. But if love will not serve: then thou must use the office of the other person, or sin against thy father. Even so when thou art a temporal person, thou puttest not of the spiritual. Therefore ⟨p. 212⟩thou must ever love. But when love will not help, thou must with love execute the office of the temporal person or sin against God. A mother can smite and love: and so mayst thou with love execute the office of thy second state. And the wife, son, servant and subject are brethren in the first state and put not that person of, by reason of the second degree: & therefore must they love ever, and with love pay custom, tribute, 2fear, honour and obedience to whom they belong as Paul teacheth Roma. xiij. And though the other do not his duty and love thee, but rule the with rigorousness & deal unkindly with thee, thou not deserving: yet cleave thou to Christ, and love still, and let not his evil overcome thy goodness and make thee evil also.
Take an example: thou art in thy fathers house among thy brethren and 1sisters. There if one fight with an other, or if any do thee wrōg, thou mayst not aduenge nor smite: For that pertayneth to thy father onely. But if thy father geue thee authoritie in hys absence, and commaund thee to smyte if if they will not be ruled: now then art an other person. Notwithstanding yet thou hast not put of the first persō, but art a brother still, and must euer loue, and proue all thyng to rule with loue. But if loue will not serue: then thou must vse the office of the other person, or sinne agaynst thy father. Euen so when thou art a temporal person, thou puttest not of the spirituall. Therfore ⟨p. 212⟩
