For as much (as it is written in the acts of the Apostles) the same Paul deprived Elimas the Magician of his sight, and Peter slew Ananias and Sapphira. ⟨image 38⟩Wherefore we must rather say that these great men did not such things of an hatred granted to unperfect men, but that they were driven thereunto by some other manner of means.1 And therefore me thinketh we must make this distinction, that they sometimes had to do for their own causes, & sometimes for gods cause. When they had to do for their matters, all their doings were ordered with all modesty and gentleness. As we see David to have done, who many times spared Saul his deadly enemy. Moses also & other holy men did constantly & valiantly very often grievous things. But when the matters of God were in hand, the same men behaved them selves severely & nobly. And if they should have done that in their own causes, they might have seemed to wrest the sword out of the hand of God and of the Magistrate, which they do which revenge their own injuries.
