Though as I before have sufficiently 1proved, a Christen man must suffer all thing, be it never so great unright, as long as it is not against Gods commandment, neither is it lawful for him to cast any burden of ⟨p. 137⟩his back by his own authority, till God pull it of which laid it on for our deservings, yet ought the kings every where to defend their realms from such oppression, if they were Christen, which is seldom seen: and is an hard thing verily, though not impossible. For alas they be captives or ever they 2be kings, yea almost ere they be borne. No man may be suffered about him but flatterers, and such as are first sworn true unto our most holy fathers the Bishops, that is to say, false to God and man.
