1And to be brief, there are two things to be considered of us in this collation. In the Civil Magistrate is to be considered both the power, and also the man which beareth and exerciseth the power. He in respect that he is a Christian man, is undoubtedly subject unto the word of God, and in respect that he beareth power, and governeth, he ought also to be subject unto the same word of God. For out of it ought he to seek rules to govern and to administer. In the Minister of the Church also is to be considered both the ministry it self, and also the person which executeth it. As touching the person, the minister is subject unto the Civill power: for he is both a Citizen, and payeth tribute as other men do, and is under the correction of manners. But as concerning the ministry, he is also someway subject unto the Magistrate: For if he either teach or administer the Sacraments against the word of God, he must be reprehended by the Civil Magistrate. And yet must he not seek for rules and reasons of his function at the same Magistrates hand, but out of the word of God. By this distinction we may easily understand the differences and agreement of either power.
1And to be briefe, there are two thinges to be considered of vs in thys collacion. In the Ciuyll Magistrate is to be considered both the power, and also the man which beareth and exerciseth the power. He in respect that he is a Christian man, is vndoubtedly subiect vnto the woorde of God, and in respect that hee beareth power, and gouerneth, he ought also to be subiect vnto the same woord of God. For out of it ought he to seeke rules to gouerne and to administer. In the Minister of the Churche also is to be considered both the ministerye it selfe, and also the person which executeth it. As touching the person, the minister is subiect vnto the Ciuill power: for he is both a Citizen, and payeth tribute as other men doo, and is vnder the correction of manners. But as concernyng the ministerye, he is also somewaye subiect vnto the Magistrate: For if he eyther teache or administer the Sacramentes agaynst the woorde of God, he must bee reprehended by the Ciuil Magistrate. And yet must hee not seeke for rules and reasons of hys function at the same Magistrates hand, but out of the woorde of God. By thys distinction we may easelye vnderstande the differences and agrement of eyther power.
