For the kingdom, and the power and the glory is thine for ever. Amen.
For the kingdome, and the power and the glorie is thyne for euer. Amen.
Because that thou only art y• king, and all other but substitutes. And because all power is thine, and all other mens power but borrowed of thee: therefore ought all honour: and obedience to be thine of right, as chief Lord: and none to be given other men, but only for the office they hold of thee. Neither ought any creature to seek any more in this world, then to be a brother, till thou have put him in office: then (if brotherliness will not help, which he ought first to prove) let him execute thy power. Neither may any man take authority of him self, till God have chosen him: that is to were, till he be chosen by the ordinance that God hath set in y• world, to rule it. Finally no King, Lord, Master or what ruler it be, hath absolute power in this world, & is the very thing which he is called: For then they ceased to be brethren still, neither could they sin what soever they commanded. But now their authority is but a limited power. Which when they transgress, they sin against their brethren, and ought to reconcile them selves to their brethren & to ask forgiveness, & they are bound to forgive.
