1But some man will doubt: If the Magistrate be an Ethnic & also a tyrant, whither it be lawful for a godly man to use his help and aid? What else? Paul appealeth unto Cesar a most wicked tyrant. But it may seem that he did against his own precepts. For in his first Epistle to the Corrin. he reprehended those Christians which pleaded causes at the judgement places of the Ethnics. He justly reproved the Corinthians, because there were Christians among them, which might in the church have decided their causes. Neither was it convenient that Christians should contend with christians at the judgement places of the ungodly. But Paul when he appealed unto Cesar, had not to do with christians, but with the Jews, & president of Rome. Wherefore forasmuch as he had not a faithful magistrate, neither could it otherwise be done, & his life also was sought, he did not il in imploring the faith and aid of the common magistrate, although he were an Ethnic. For even as we use the Sun & Moon, so also is it lawful to use the public and ordinary magistrate, what manner of man so ever he be.
1But some man will doubt: If the Magistrate be an Ethnike & also a tiran, whither it be lawfull for a godly man to vse his helpe and ayde? What els? Paul appealeth vnto Cesar a most wicked tiran. But it may seme that he did against his own preceptes. For in his firste Epistle to the Corrin. he reprehended those Christians whiche pleaded causes at the iudgemente places of the Ethnikes. He iustlye reproued the Corinthians, bycause there were Christians amonge them, which might in the church haue decided theyr causes. Neyther was it conueniēt that Christians should contend with christians at the iudgemente places of the vngodly. But Paul whē he appealed vnto Cesar, had not to do wt christians, but with ye Iewes, & president of Rome. Wherfore forasmuch as he had not a faithfull magistrate, neither could it otherwise be done, & his life also was soughte, he did not il in imploringe the fayth and ayd of the cōmon magistrate, although he were an Ethnike. For euē as we vse the Sun & Mone, so also is it lawfull to vse the publike and ordinary magistrate, what manner of man so euer he be.
