1I will add also the act of Hezekiah the king, who as it is written in the second book of Kings the .xviii. Chapter, was bound to the king of the Assyrians. For as it is mentioned in the same book the .xvi. chapter, Achas had yielded him self unto the king of the Assyrians, to whom he did not only pay tribute, but to please him with all, he changed the worshipping of the true God.

We must take heed nevertheless that in those things we beware of seditions, as much as may be, and we must most diligently provide, that such Magistrates under pretence of religion seek not their own.

But Ezechias his Sonne beyng verye godlye, perceauing that those thinges which his Father had done were against the woord of God, vtterly fel from the king of the Assirians, who then ruled ouer him as a superiour power. But first he assayed to pacifye him with giftes and money: but when he saw that woulde take no place,
